In sexual reproduction, selfish genetic elements known as killer meiotic drivers (KMDs) bias inheritance by eliminating gametes that do not carry them. The selective killing behavior of most KMDs can be explained a toxin-antidote model, where toxin harms all while an antidote provides resistance to the in carriers. This study investigates whether and how KMD element
