Why is Mendelian segregation so exact?

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Jun 1991

Crow J F

Abstract excerpt

The precise 1:1 segregation of Mendelian heredity is ordinarily taken for granted, yet there are numerous examples of 'cheating' genes that perpetuate themselves in the population by biasing the Mendelian process in their favor. One example is the Segregation Distortion system of Drosophila melanogaster, in which the distorting gene causes its homologous chromosome to produce a nonfunctional sperm. This system...
