Mitosis.
The process of Meiosis increases genetic variability as it produces gametes for sexual reproduction.
Explanation:
Mitosis and meiosis are types of cell division. However, there are significant differences among both these processes. These include:
- Mitosis takes place in all cells of the body but meiosis takes place in sex cells only.
- Mitosis produces two daughter cells which are identical to their mother cell while meiosis results in four daughter cells with half the number of chromosomes than the parent cell.
- Mitosis does not produce genetic variability but helps in regeneration and repair while Meiosis produces genetic variability by the process of recombination .
