HOLLIDAY MODEL

Page 2: holliday model .. genetics chromosomal structural changes

The Holliday model

Two homologous duplexes are aligned

Strand exchange leads to an intermediate with crossed strands

This branch can move: Branch migration

The branch is resolved by cleavage and sealingHeteroduplexes: minor base sequence differences b/w homologous chr.

A DNA double helix formed by annealing single strands from different sources; if there is a sequence difference between the strands, the heteroduplex may show single strand loops or bubbles (unpaired regions).
