Which of the following is a reason why the daughter cells that result from the process of Meiosis are not genetically identical to the parent cell at the beginning of the process? 1.Crossing over
2)Each homologous chromosome in a pair is inherited from a different parent (i.e.one from mom and one from dad)
3)Each homologue randomly assorts into a daughter cell
A) 1
B) 2
C) 3
D) All of these
E) 2 and 3 only

All of these options contribute to the genetic diversity of the daughter cells produced by meiosis. Crossing over allows for the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes, each homologous chromosome pair includes one chromosome from each parent, and the random assortment of chromosomes into daughter cells ensures a unique combination of chromosomes in each gamete.
