Mismatch base-pair transformation in meiotic recombination. A A schematic representation of gene conversion during meiotic recombination. The double-strand always break during meiosis, and a heteroduplex formed when the single-stranded DNA invades the homologous sequence, enabling the repair of up to four possible mismatches by altering one side of the nucleotides. B,C Comparison of mismatch base-pair transformations in both (B) initial and (C) equilibrium states reveals a GC-biased gene conversion
