Exon shuffling may explain this phenomena. Gene expression cause the transcription of DNA (let's say a DNA segment that make an allele) in to mRNA. Eukaryotic mRNA undergoes cutting and splicing mechanism where the exons are united together by splicing introns. Imagine an exon pattern 1-2-3 codes for a particular allele/inheritance/trait, random shuffling that produce 1-3-2 or 2-3-1 will cause significant change on that particular trait. When this pattern can be formed by combining exons from a different allele(say A-B-C) unique pattern such as 3-B-1-C would yield a totally new trait.
alleles
The separation of alleles is called segregation. During meiosis, alleles located on homologous chromosomes are randomly sorted into daughter cells, leading to genetic diversity in offspring.
The process of allele segregation during gamete formation is determined by the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate independently, and each resulting gamete randomly receives one copy of each chromosome. This random assortment leads to the random segregation of alleles, determining which allele of each pair goes into a gamete.
Both gene segregation and chromosome segregation involve the separation of genetic material during cell division. In gene segregation, alleles of a gene separate during meiosis, whereas chromosome segregation involves the separation of entire chromosomes. The key difference is that gene segregation refers to specific alleles segregating to daughter cells, while chromosome segregation refers to the distribution of entire chromosomes to daughter cells.
Dropping the sick simulates segregation because it determines what alleles end up in the gamete. You can't have both alleles.

Segregation.
Mendel's Law of Segregation states that each individual has two alleles for a particular trait, and these alleles separate during gamete formation so that each gamete receives only one allele. This results in the random distribution of alleles into gametes and leads to genetic variation in offspring.
This is known as Mendel's law of segregation, where alleles of a gene separate during the formation of gametes, ensuring that each gamete carries only one allele. This process results in genetic variation in offspring due to the random assortment of alleles.
The process of allele segregation during gamete formation is determined by the random assortment of chromosomes during meiosis. Homologous pairs of chromosomes separate independently, and each resulting gamete randomly receives one copy of each chromosome. This random assortment leads to the random segregation of alleles, determining which allele of each pair goes into a gamete.
alleles
The law of segregation states that when the egg and sperm combine at fertilization, the alleles are restored in the paired condition. This means that each side's allele combines, and the dominance effects of Mendelian understanding of genetics comes into play.
Segregation
To visualize Mendel's Law of Segregation, we can observe phenotypic ratios in offspring of a heterozygous parent, track the inheritance of a single trait over multiple generations, and analyze the pattern of segregation of alleles during gamete formation. This can help demonstrate the random assortment of alleles and the 3:1 phenotypic ratio predicted by Mendel's law.
segregation
The law of segregation of alleles, the first of Mendel's laws, stating that every somatic cell of an organism carries a pair of hereditary units (now identified as alleles) for each character, and that at meiosis the pairs separate so that each gamete carries only one unit from each pair. This is called the law of segregation.
