Answer:

(three) crossing over, mutations caused during crossing over, and independent assortment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Because of recombination and independent assortment in meiosis, each gamete contains a different set of DNA. This produces a unique combination of genes in the resulting zygote. Recombination or crossing over occurs during prophase I.
