It is most widely used by cells to accurately repair harmful breaks that occur on both strands of DNA, known as double-strand breaks. Homologous recombination also produces new combinations of DNA sequences during meiosis, the process by which eukaryotes make gamete cells, like sperm and egg cells in animals.
During meiosis, the process for gamete formation, homologous chromosomes replicate forming sister chromatids. 1  Sister chromatids pair up forming what is called a tetrad. While in close proximity, homologous chromosomes sometimes exchange sections of DNA. 2  At the end of meiosis, four daughter cells are produced.
