Cross over is the first way genes are shuffled to give rise to genetic diversity. Cross over takes place in sexual reproduction. The normal way that cross over occurs is chromosomes line up side by side and break off pieces of themselves, then trade those pieces with each other.
If they break the pieces at the same locus in the sequence of base pairs, the result is an exchange of genes called genetic recombination and it ensures that the daughter cells produced have a different genetic makeup from the parent cell and thus diversity occurs.
Chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) mole
There are mainly two molecules that function as genetic material in living organisms.
These are ribonucleic acid(RNA) and deoxyribonucleic acid(DNA).
The organisms having DNA as genetic material require packaging of DNA as it is a long polymer of deoxyribonucleotides.
In the case of human beings, the length of DNA in a cell is approximately 2.2 meters which is very large as compared to the size of the nucleus( approximately 10^-6 meters).
So, the DNA has to be made compact for it to be present inside the nucleus of a cell.
Therefore, the DNA present inside the nucleus of a cell undergoes coiling and compaction through several stages before finally becoming a chromosome, which is shown in the adjoining diagram.
Thus, chromosomes are composed of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) molecules.

Are bunchgrass because they form a kind of ecosystem within the prairie.
These are few examples of ecosystem services. These are conditions or processes of natural systems that directly or indirectly have a benefit to humans or enhance their social welfare. They include purification of water and air, maintenance of biodiversity, soil and vegetation generation and renewal, seed dispersal, greenhouse gas mitigation among other services.
