How does meiosis lead to the differences between siblings?

OpenStudy (abhisar):

Hey there! Meiosis is a kind of cell division in which variations are produced in the daughter cells via a process called as \(\bf Crossing~Over\)

Sexual reproduction is the union of male and female gametes to form a fertilized egg, or zygote. The resulting offspring inherit one half of their traits from each parent. Consequently they are not genetically identical to either parent or siblings, except in the case of identical twins. As hypothesized by Mendel, adults are diploid, signified as 2N, having two alleles available to code for one trait. The gametes must be haploid, signified by N, containing only one allele; so that when two haploid gametes combine, they produce a normal diploid individual. The process where haploid sex cells are created from diploid parents is called meiosis, and it occurs only in the reproductive organs.
