Meiosis produces lots of genetic diversity and how these gametes are all different from one another so this genetic diversity comes from two main points in meiosis. The cells that are produced by meiosis are haploid which means that they only have a single copy of each chromosome and the last thing I want to mention is how meiosis produce lots of genetic Diversity during meiosis. It's also important to note though that unlike mitosis these daughter cells are not going to be the same because you had crossing over events occur all the way back in prophase one.
