Reductional division- the child gets half of its chromosomes from each parent
Provides genetic diversity.
Separation of chromosomes follows law of independent assortment where each gamete receives a
selection of parental chromosomes. The chance of getting same chromosomes in two gametes is
approximately 1 in 8 million.
Because of crossing over each chromatid receives DNA derived from both parental homologous
chromosomes referred to as gene shuffling
