Explanation:

1. Crossing over and independent assortment increase genetic diversity in daughter cells. Crossing over exchanges genetic material between homologous chromosomes, and independent assortment randomly distributes chromosomes to daughter cells.
2. Meiosis has two rounds of cell division: meiosis I and meiosis II.
3. Mitosis produces two genetically identical diploid daughter cells for growth and repair. Meiosis produces four genetically diverse haploid daughter cells for sexual reproduction.

Answer:

1. Increase genetic diversity.
2. Two.
3. Mitosis: two identical diploid cells (growth/repair). Meiosis: four diverse haploid cells (sexual reproduction).
