It results in identical daughter cells.
It results in identical daughter cells.

It produces cells that have genetic combinations that aren’t passed on.
It produces cells that have genetic combinations that aren’t passed on.

Answer 1

The correct response is: It allows for new combinations of genes.

This highlights how crossing-over and independent assortment during meiosis contribute to genetic diversity in offspring, supporting the claim that meiosis results in inheritable genetic variations.
