Although all genetic diversity originates as a mutation there are two mechanisms that occur during meiosis that can recombine existing genetic diversity into many trillion of new combinations what are these two mechanisms a. organization of DNA around histone molecules b. variability in the arrangement of Acton and meiosis molecules in the meiotic spindle c. Random assortment of alleles during metaphase one of meiosis d. telomeric shortening after successive rounds of cellular division e. Crossing over between homologous sister chromatids
