Hi Defender
Welcome to Studyit :grinning: :grinning: :grinning:
Genetic variation is about having lots of different alleles to genes and about having these alleles in different pairs. When meiosis happens the 2 alleles of each gene separate into different gametes. Do you think you can use this information to explain how meiosis leads to genetic variation?
Looking forward to helping you with your answer :wink:
