n the diagram above, Process X depicts meiosis I and Process Y depicts mitosis. One of the functions of meiosis is to produce variation in the gametes formed by this process.  There are two events in meiosis that contribute to genetic variation.  For each event that contributes to variation in meiosis: i.   Name the event.   ii.  Name the meiotic stage it occurs in and identify that stage in the diagram above.  ii.  Explain how the event contributes to genetic variation.
