Crossing over, or recombination, is thought to be evolutionarily advantageous because it continually shuffles genetic alleles in

to novel combinations. Until recently, it was thought that Y-linked genes might degenerate because they have no homologous genes on the X chromosome with which to recombine. However, when the Y chromosome was sequenced, eight large regions were found to be internally homologous to each other, and quite a few of the 78 genes represent duplicates. How might this be beneficial?
