Answer:

A is correct

B is correct

C is INcorrect

D is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are two parents with different genes that produce new cells, and the fact that chromeosomal crossover accures very commonly in meiosis, there is genetic variation. So A is correct.

B is correct since gamates are haploid cells.

As I said above, gametes are haploid cells, not diploid. MITOSIS produces two identical daughter cells, known as diploid cells. This is not meisosis, which produces four haploid cells. So, C is incorrect since that is talking about MITOSIS. But knowing this, D must be correct since that is about meisois.
