  Muller's ratchet at AllExperts
In evolutionary genetics, Muller's ratchet (named after Hermann Joseph Muller) is the name given to the process by which the genomes of an asexual population accumulate deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner (hence the word ratchet).
It is instead quite clear that the genomes of mitochondria and chloroplasts do not recombine and would undergo Muller's ratchet were they not as small as they are.
Muller's Ratchet turns faster in smaller populations and it is thought to set limits to the maximum size of asexual genomes and to the long-term evolutionary continuity of asexual lineages (but some asexual lineages are thought to be quite ancient: Bdelloid rotifers, e.g., appear to have been asexual for nearly 40 million years).

 NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Genetic recombination
In evolutionary biology, genetic recombination, be it inter- or intra-chromosomal, is thought to have many advantages including that of allowing sexually reproducing organisms to avoid Muller's ratchet.
In evolutionary genetics, Mullers ratchet is the name given to the process by which the genomes of an asexual population accumulate deleterious mutations in an irreversible manner (hence the word ratchet), a process which the genomes of sexual populations can easily reverse thanks to recombination.
Genetic recombination is the transmission-genetic process by which the combinations of alleles observed at different loci (plural of locus) in two parental individuals become shuffled in offspring individuals.

 Muller's ratchet — evolution.ws
Muller's ratchet is a population genetical model that describes the random accumulation of sightly deleterious mutations in finite populations with limited amounts of recombination.
If Muller's ratchet operates long enough it can lead to genomic decay that is strong enough to drive a population to extinction.
Muller's ratchet gets its name from the fact that the loss of fitness in the fittest individuals of a population due to the accumulation of deleterious mutations cannot be reversed, if there is no recombination and no back mutation (like in an asexual population with an infinite genome).

This project is to concerned with a finite population of asexual individuals that are are subject to deleterious mutations.
The population undergoes an irreversible process known as Muller's ratchet, where the class of individuals with the fewest number of mutations is lost due to genetic drift.
The aim of the project is to investigate current developments in the literature and numerically simulate the behaviour of a population.

There are some discussions wheter some organisms can transmit these microchromosomes to their children for a limited number of generations.
It is evident that such micro-chromosomes protect the mutated counterparts, thereby slowing the speed of Muller's ratchet.
Apparently such parental genome pieces act as a type of protecting umbrella that allowes many deleterious mutations to remain in the population that would have been eradicated otherwise by selection.
