One of the advantages of sexual reproduction is that it promotes genetic diversity in the offspring. This is because gametes are produced by meiosis, which introduces genetic variation into the resulting gametes. How does meiosis accomplish this? Describe one way (there are several choices) in which meiosis produces new combinations of genes in gametes.
