GENETIC CHEATING. “A striking feature of meiosis is its apparent fairness: under Mendel’s first law of inheritance, each allele has a 50% chance of ending up in any given gamete. However, there are many selfish genetic elements that increase their chances above 50% by subverting the mechanism of meiosis.”
