The random combination of chromosomes resulting from pairing up 1 of the 8.4 million possible chromosome combinations of a sperm with 1 of the 8.4 million possibly chromosome combinations of the egg (due to independent assortment of chromosomes during Meiosis. This comes out to about 70 trillion combinations, which does not even factor in the crossing over of genetic material during Meiosis.
I'm not telling you
Random fertilization. All the eggs and sperm produced are variations due to crossing over alone, not even considering other processes. The meet and fertilization occurs randomly insuring a good mix of genetic variation. Thus, genetic diversity.
fertilization
a. crossing over b. independent assortment or c. random fertilization
random in science terms means random duhhh. :) random is random in every language or subjects
"Random" is an adjective.
Fertilization is random and the haploids are male and female gametes, sperm and eggs. So, genetic diversity is enhanced greatly because random fertilization comes after the independent orientation of male and female chromosomes plus crossing over in meiosis. So, statistically speaking, there are myriad variations that can come out of haploid random fertilization and so great genetic diversity is also enhanced here.
Independent assortment, crossing over, and random fertilization increase genetic variation in offspring, which provides the raw material for evolution to occur at a faster rate. These processes increase the likelihood of new combinations of alleles, leading to a greater diversity of traits within a population. This increased genetic diversity can drive natural selection and adaptation, ultimately contributing to the rate of evolution in a population.
Fertilization involves a random selection of alleles which are combined.
Chromosomal disjunction during meiosis leaving one of the gametes that meet in random fertilization short an X chromosome is the simplest fertilization mishap that results in Turner's syndrome. One X chromosome.

New genetic combinations during meiosis can occur through processes like crossing over, where homologous chromosomes exchange genetic material, and independent assortment, where homologous chromosomes line up randomly during metaphase I. These mechanisms lead to genetic variation and the creation of unique combinations of alleles in offspring.
Random fertilization. All the eggs and sperm produced are variations due to crossing over alone, not even considering other processes. The meet and fertilization occurs randomly insuring a good mix of genetic variation. Thus, genetic diversity.

For just random assortment, there are 2 to the power of the number if pairs of chromosomes. In humans, it's 2 to the 23 power. Recombination and random fertilization create even more variations but can not be calculated.
