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 factors contribute to genetic diversity?
The way the chromosomes line up during meiosis.
What are two ways that sexual reproduction helps create and and maintain genetic diversity?
Sexual reproduction helps create and maintain genetic diversity by: # The independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. # The random fertilization of gametes.
Why are chromosomes called hereditary vehicles?
the chromosomes carry the genes and similarities of parents to the off springs.thus,called heriditary vehicles
How is genetic diversity to beneficial to a species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
How is genetic diversity beneficial to species?
Crossing over causes genetic diversity. If there was no genetic diversity in a species, the species would be prone to extinction.
Difference between chromosomes and genes?
Chromosomes carry genes. Genes are inherited material that is in chromosomes. Traits are determined by the genetic information found on chromosomes.
What factors contribute to genetic diversity?
The way the chromosomes line up during meiosis.
What are non-chromosomal genetic elements?
A gene or replicon that is inherited or transmitted independently of the chromosomes.
What is the first things chromosomes do?
DNA is exchanged between homologous chromosomes in a process called "crossing over" or "genetic recombination," which is important for maintaining diversity in the genetic pool from one generation of individuals to the next.

Sexual reproduction helps create and maintain genetic diversity by: # The independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. # The random fertilization of gametes.
Is crossing over a chromosomal abnormality?
No, it is normal for chromosomes to cross over. Crossing over is how we humans have genetic diversity.
What kind of conditions is carried on a chromosome other than sex chromosomes?
This would be just a genetic or inherited condition.
How does crossing over affect the genetic diversity of a species?
in crossing over the gens present on chromosomes forms linkage so the character are exchange & thus it lead to recombination of genes that affect genetic diversity
