Final answer:

Crossing over in meiosis leads to genetic variation through the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes.


Explanation:

Crossing over is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

This process results in genetic variation by creating new combinations of alleles on chromosomes, leading to offspring with unique genetic traits.

To visualize crossing over, consider a model with two chromosomes, each carrying different alleles such as A, E, G, a, e, and g, where segments of genetic material can be exchanged.
