It looks like you are describing the process of meiosis, specifically during the first division (meiosis I). In this process, homologous chromosomes line up along the metaphase plate and are sorted into gametes. The random alignment of these chromosomes contributes to genetic diversity due to the independent assortment of chromosomes.

Here's a more complete way to fill in your statement:

"During this process, homologous chromosomes randomly line up and then are separated from one another. The sorting of one pair of homologous chromosomes **affects the sorting of another**. This process **contributes** to genetic diversity because it results in the formation of gametes (sex cells) during **meiosis** with different combinations of chromosomes."

Is there anything else you would like to add or clarify about meiosis or genetic diversity?
