Here's the summary with the words or phrases accurately completed:

Genetic **variation** is caused by **mutation** and crossing over, also referred to as **genetic recombination**. Genes carried on **homologous** chromosomes can carry dominant or recessive traits. Crossing over occurs during **meiosis** reproductive cell division, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material. This increases **genetic variation** and is the reason siblings from the same biological **parents** share similar and different traits. When DNA has an error in a gene sequence, it can contribute to genetic variation and is a type of **mutation**. Genetic mutations **can be** beneficial. They can also be harmful or **neutral**.
