Sexual reproduction and meiosis generate genetic variety by:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both options A and C are correct and contribute to genetic variety through sexual reproduction and meiosis. Random fertilization allows for different combinations of genes to come together from the mother and father during fertilization, while independent assortment results from the random segregation of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis. Option D (crossing over) is also correct as it contributes to genetic variety by allowing for the exchange of genetic information between maternal and paternal homologous chromosomes during prophase I of meiosis. Therefore, the best choice is B as all options are correct.
