Recently I read something contradicting this. It might have been in Scientific American, but not sure. It was about a recently discovered "self repair" mechanism that may prevent the fall of the chromasome. I am in the middle of studying and don't have the time to look it up but if someone is interested in looking for it, go right ahead.

Actually there's something in the book about this self-repair mechanism. It's in the final chapters. Scattered islands of immensly long palindromes, where the sequence reads the same forwards as it does backwards. It was then argued that even with this mechnism, the Y-chromosome is not 100% saved, not even close. These palindromes were originally reported by David Page in Nature (journal). --LogiPhi 06:04, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
