Answer:

Recombination and independent assortment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recombination and independent assortment in meiosis are the two ways of meiosis that results in genetically unique daughter cells. Recombination is also called crossing over that is the exchange of genetic material that occurs in the germ line. During crossing over, part of one daughter chromosome is exchanged with another that causes diversity whereas independent assortment refers to the allele a gamete receives for one gene does not influence the allele received for another gene.
