Meiosis reduces the chromosome complement of a eu-DNA lost from one parent in the neighborhood of the karyote from diploidy to haploidy. It is typically marked DSB site and then compensated for by synthesis temby crossing over, the reciprocal exchange of segments plated on the uncut homologue, as called for by the of DNA between homologous chromosomes. In many DSBR model (Figure 1). creatures, including yeast, the orderly distribution of Second, in the DSBR model, the two duplexes particichromosomes through meiosis is dependent upon this pating in the joint molecule are held together by a pair crossing over. Crossing over certainly contributes to of Holliday junctions (Figure 1c). In a Holliday junction, genetic variability as well, and that may be an important strands of the same polarity are swapped between dufactor in its maintenance. Molecular models for genetic plexes. Schwacha and Kleckner showed that their joint exchange became possible only with the elucidation of molecules can be dissociated into duplexes, some the double-stranded structure of DNA by Watson and crossed over for the distant markers and some not, Crick in 1953. Many of the daunting data on meiotic by the in vitro action of an enzyme, Holliday junction recombination were rationalized by Robin Holliday’s resolvase, isolated from E. coli.
