A balancer chromosome contains a dominant "marker", a recessive lethal gene that "balances" the recessive lethal allele of the gene interested on the other chromosome, and multiple inversions that inhibits recombination. The presence of a balancer chromosome ensures that the frequency of the recessive lethal allel is the same in each generation by killing the WT animals (because WT animals are homozygous for the balancer, which is also recessive lethal).
