Recombinational polarity and suppressiveness are two well-known but puzzling cytoplasmic genetic phenomena in bakers' yeast, Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Little progress has been made in characterizing the underlying molecular mechanisms of these phenomena. In this paper we describe a molecular model for recombinational polarity that is compatible with the available genetic evidence. The model stresses the role of small deletions and excision/repair processes in otherwise canonical recombinational events. According to the model, both phenomena require recombination and may share mechanistic elements.
