Crossing-over helps create diversity. It makes for what we call recombinant chromosomes. Thanks to crossing-over, siblings have the same DNA as their parents, but the DNA is shuffled so they don’t all look identical. Except if you’re identical twins, which case is me.

Hope that helped and have a great day! :)
