When gametes are produced (by meiosis), allele pairs separate leaving each cell with a single allele for each trait.

X and Y Chromosomes

Gene conversions between these palindromes keeps the two copies almost identical (>99.9% identical). – This gets around Muller’s ratchet: if mutation inactivates one co ...
