Question

The process of ____________ increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction

Answer 1

The process of meiosis increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
Meiosis is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is required to produce egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction.

Answer 2

The answer is meiosis. This biological process involves the formation of 4 gametes from a pre-gamete cell. The gametes are haploid in nature, unlike somatic cells which are diploid. The gametes will have variability in the genetic makeup due to phenomenon such as crossing over between chromosomes.
