Recombination is the method by which organisms can randomly assort their genotypes amongst each other to create offspring with a different haplotype than either of its parents. This can be done by either copying sequences from one homologous chromosome to another (no physical exchange) or crossing over (physical exchange. 
Crossing over is a mechanism in eukaryotes by which recombination can occur, in which the two homologous chromosomes contributed by both parents literally cross over and break at certain points to exchange certain sections of the chromosomes amongst each together.
Self fertilizing organisms typically do not produce offspring that are genetically identical. However, this has an inbreeding effect on its offspring, since it is recombining from the same genotype and so has a higher chance of producing homozygous offspring. This is very detrimental for mammals and some eukaryotes, but in some other organisms such as bacteria, homozygosity is typically not an issue.

Answer:

Explanation:

The earth turns on its axis every day; it orbits the sun, just like all the other planets in our Solar System. When viewed from space, it turns counter-clockwise.

Because it rotates around the earth at the exact same speed as it rotates around its own axis, so that the same side of the moon is constantly facing the surface of the earth.

Tilt of the earth on its axis is responsible for season formation. The amount of sunlight obtained by various regions on earth surface is regulated by tilt. The places of earth that are facing the Sun and get direct sunlight experiences summers while the others which are facing away from the Sun experience winter season.
