Solution

The process that introduces genetic variability among the gametes is meiosis only.

Here's why:

  1. Mitosis is a process of cell division that results in two genetically identical daughter cells developing from a single parent cell, and thus it does not introduce genetic variability.

  2. Meiosis, on the other hand, is a type of cell division that reduces the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and produces four gamete cells. This process is what leads to genetic diversity in organisms.

So, the correct answer is "meiosis only".
