Summary Introduction

Introduction:

Genetic variation enables species to adapt and evolve in the changing environment. Asexually reproducing organisms primarily depends on mutation for the genetic variation. Although in sexually reproducing organisms mutation also occurs that results from reshuffling of genetic material during sexual reproduction ensuring the different combination of genes than their parents. The two main ways in which meiosis contributes to genetic variation are crossing over and independent assortment.
