Homologous recombination during meiosis can result in either crossover or non-crossover events. Please indicate which of the following is a property or event in either crossovers, non-crossovers, or both. Items (6 items) (Drag and drop into the appropriate area below) Categories: Crossovers Non-crossovers Both - Involves the exchange of large pieces of DNA between homologous chromosomes - Can only occur as a result of resolution of a double-Holliday junction - Involves the formation of heteroduplex DNA - May involve gene conversion due to the mismatch repair process - Is initiated by a programmed double-strand break in one chromosome - Can occur as a result of single-strand invasion and extension, without Holliday junction formation

Homologous chromosomes intertwine during prophase of meiosis in a process called synapsis; chiasmata. Once this has occurred, crossover exchanges can occur at chiasmata, which are physical connection points between the homologues.
