What process during meiosis is most likely responsible for creating the variation seen in the kitten compared to its two parents?

Step 1
Step 1: Understand that meiosis is the process of cell division that produces gametes (sperm and eggs) with half the number of chromosomes of the parent cell. Show more…

What is the primary "event" that produces different-from-parent gene combinations during meiosis?
Evelyn D.
which of the following important event in meiosis explains the variation in characteristics among organisms?
Aparna S.
Part A - Processes that contribute to genetic variation Meiosis guarantees that in a sexual life cycle, offspring will inherit one complete set of chromosomes (and their associated genes and traits) from each parent. The transmission of traits from parents to offspring is called heredity. Another important aspect of meiosis and the sexual life cycle is the role these processes play in contributing to genetic variation. Although offspring often resemble their parents, they are genetically different from both of their parents and from one another. The degree of variation may be tremendous.
