Suppose no crossing-over takes place. use step 5 (anaphase 1) to explain why meiosis will still increase genetic variation.

Meiosis increases genetic variation due to random segregation which occurs.

In anaphase I of meiosis, the homologous pairs (one maternal and one paternal chromosome) are moved apart to opposite ends of the cell and this process occurs random. This allows the formation of gametes with different sets of homologues. In this phase sister chromatids remain attached at their centromeres (not segragated as in mitosis).
