The variations occurring due to meiosis are due to the independent segregation of chromosomes during Metaphase II.

The variations occurring due to meiosis are due to the independent segregation of chromosomes during Metaphase II. Correct Answer False

The variation occurs due to the independent segregation of chromosomes during the Metaphase I. The Metaphase II plate does not lead to variation because all possible pairs are identical as they contain copies of the same chromatid.
