There would be less genetic variation in humans

If crossing over didn't happen during meiosis in humans, the haploid daughter cells would all have the same genes. The crossing over creates variation and causes each daughter cell to have slightly different genes.
yes, generally it does but does he opposite in animals
the procces of meiosis happends the same way in humans as in fruit flies.
Normally the genes on a chromosome are inherited as a complete set. If you get that chromosome you get all the genes on it. In the process of crossing over similar sections of DNA are swapped from one chromosome to another. This means that different pairings of genes will be inherited together going forward.
If the human population was reduced to a very small number of interbreeding individual then this small population, denied outbreeding, would have very little genetic variation. Humans, who went through a bottleneck event about 70,000 years ago, are considered a " small " species because they have little genetic variation in comparison to many other species. Google cheetah to see how this concept works.
they do a better job then humans they can work longer then humans and do the same thing over and over again
