Hypothetical scheme of pairing of X and Y chromosomes during meiosis. Since the X and Y chromosomes are highly homologous, the left and right borders of the Y-specific region could pair, either by the X copy of Olaflnk pairing with the L copy and the Y-specific region, while the R copy and the Y-specific region are looping out, or by OlaflnkX pairing with OlaflnkR, and OlaflnkL and the Y-specific region looping out.
