Meiosis allows for the creation of organisms with unique characteristics as it brings variety within a species from the two organisms that breeded.

Contrast to Mitosis, mitosis produces a clone daughter cell while Meiosis is creating a variety within a species.

Therefore, Meiosis allows for the creation of organisms with unique characteristics as it produces an organism with a variety from two parents rather than a clone.

Hope this helps!
