Sources of genetic variation
with n = 2
there are
4 possibilities
for the
lineup
during
Meiosis II
4 possible assortments of
chromosomes in the gametes

Sources of genetic variation
a) Independent assortment
This combines alleles that originated from two (grand)parents into a single
chromosome
A single crossing
over event leads to
4 genetically
unique daughter
