Answer:
Crossing over occurs in prophase I.
Independent assortment occurs in metaphase I.
Non-disjunction occurs in anaphase I or II.
The two types of gametes produced are egg cells in females and sperm cells in males.
Genetic variation is created via crossing over and independent assortment.
Conditions that could arise because of non-disjunction are Down's Syndrome, Patau's Syndrome, Edward's Syndrome and Turner's Syndrome.
Phase of meiosis are prophase, metaphase, anaphase and telophase.
