Synonyms: | meiotic D-loop dissociation, meiotic D-loop processing, meiotic displacement loop dissociation, meiotic displacement loop processing |
Definition: | The cell cycle process in which the broken 3' single-strand DNA molecule that formed heteroduplex DNA with its complement in an intact duplex DNA is rejected. The Watson-Crick base pairing in the original duplex is restored. The rejected 3' single-strand DNA molecule reanneals with its original complement to reform two intact duplex molecules. This occurs during meiosis. |
