Answer:Crossing over is the process by which non-sister chromatids of homologous chromosomes exchange their genetic material. This is why meiotic daughter cells are genetically different from each other.
Meiosis:
It is the reduction cell division in which a cell gives rise to 4 haploid cells. It is completed in two phases.
During the prophase-I crossing over occurs.
In crossing over non-sister chromatids exchange some parts of their DNA.
This results in the new genetic combinations in daughter cells.
Mitosis:
The process of cell division in which a cell gives rise to two identical daughter cells.
Hence, the daughter cells of meiotic division are genetically different from each other.
