Potential explanation for why recombination at the DNA sequence level may be under evolutionary pressure resulting from selection at the protein level. If a protein has two variable sites in different domains, then, if the relative viabilities of the possible combinations change over time, recombination between exons carrying the different variants may be evolutionarily advantageous.
