Question

the products of meiosis are genetically.. different. identical.

Explanation:

Meiosis is a type of cell division that occurs in sexually - reproducing organisms. During meiosis, genetic recombination (crossing - over) occurs between homologous chromosomes in prophase I. Also, the random assortment of chromosomes during metaphase I and II leads to different combinations of chromosomes in the daughter cells. These processes result in genetic variation among the products of meiosis. In contrast, mitosis (another type of cell division) produces genetically identical daughter cells.

Answer:

different.
