Meiosis is an important source of genetic variation in sexually reproducing organisms. Identify the key events in meiosis that result in segregation and independent assortment and how these two mechanisms produce genetic variation in the next generation. Use the following terms in your response: genes; alleles; homologous chromosomes; non-homologous chromosomes.
