Conversion
The term proposed by Winkler (1930) for a process of interaction between alleles at meiosis. The term was re-introduced by Lindegren (1953) to account for aberrant ratios in the products of meiosis, apparently arising from such interaction.

One is gene conversion. This is a phenomena by which one stretch of DNA "erases" another stretch and copies itself in it's place. The mechanism is well known, but I don't have time to explain it. Any molecular bio text will have that info.
