Why does sexual reproduction result in more genetic variation in a species than asexual reproduction?

In asexual reproduction there are 2 daughter cells produced that are identical to the parent cell. In sexual reproduction there are 4 genetically different daughter cells produced that are haploid (23 chromosomes). Crossing over occurs during meiosis which mixes up segments of DNA on homologous chromosomes causing new genetic variations. By the sperm fertilizing the egg, you are combining 2 completely different sets of different haploid DNA to produce a diploid offspring which is genetically different from both parents.
