How does meiosis introduce genetic variation into offspring?

Meiosis leads to increased genetic variation by reshuffling genes and creating random genes. The variation produced by meiosis accounts for differences in closely related individuals, such as members of the same family, as well as genetic differences in people within larger populations

Explanation:

c.) polymerase chain reaction

- "unlike the original dna fingerprinting method, dna profiling does not use restriction enzymes to cut the dna. instead it uses the polymerase chain reaction (pcr)? to produce many copies of specific str sequences. pcr is an automated procedure that generates lots of copies of a specific sequence of dna."
