No, because genetic diversity has nothing to do with the sex chromosomes but is due to crossing-over of chromosomes independent assortment of chromosomes, and segregation of chromosomes

What is the result of non-disjunction of chromosomes?
The non - disjunction of chromosomes results in - 1 -Linkage which results in maintenance of parental base pairs of nucleotides (present in genes) in the offsprings. 2 - Due to above result some genetic disorder can take place like Down Syndrome (due to non - disjunction of chromosome no. 21 ) , Edward Syndrome (due to non - disjunction of chromosome no. 18 ) ,etc . 3 - If non -disjunction of chromosomes occurs in Gametes then again it results in defect in the foetus like poorly developed features of male or female ,etc .
