What is the significance of independent assortment in meiosis?

It leads to genetic diversity by creating different combinations of alleles in the gametes.

It has no significance in meiosis.

It reduces genetic diversity by creating identical combinations of alleles in the gametes.

It only occurs in somatic cells, not in gametes.
