Answer:

hello there

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the duplicated chromatids remain joined during meiosis I, each daughter cell receives only one chromosome of each homologous pair. ... By shuffling the genetic deck in this way, the gametes resulting from meiosis II have new combinations of maternal and paternal chromosomes, increasing genetic diversity.
