Genetic recombination creates new combinations of alleles. Crossing over exchanges DNA between homologous chromosomes, independent assortment distributes chromosome pairs into gametes in different combinations, and fertilization combines genes from two parents. Natural selection affects which inherited traits become more common, but it does not itself recombine genes.
