Question

unit 2.3 cell cycle, mitosis, meiosis quiz 2025 - 26
which best explains how the process of meiosis contributes to genetic diversity?
by producing haploid cells with a unique combination of genes from one diploid cell
by producing diploid cells that contain an exact copy of one diploid cells dna
by producing haploid cells that contain dna from two different diploid cells
by producing diploid cells that contain the alleles from only two diploid cells

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell - division that results in four haploid cells. During meiosis, crossing - over and independent assortment occur, leading to unique combinations of genes in the haploid cells produced from a single diploid cell, which contributes to genetic diversity.

Answer:

By producing haploid cells with a unique combination of genes from one diploid cell
