In recombination, cross-overs exchange alleles between homologous chromosomes during meiosis in both parents. This is what allows for much of the genetic variation in the offspring of a population in each generation.
Sexual recombination works in three different ways. First, chromosomes of the male and female exchange genetic material in the process of crossing over. Secondly, the tetrads in meiosis have two different ways to independently orient themselves in prophase I, And lastly fertilization is a completely random process.
