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 prophase I, each of the homologous pairs of chromosomes can be seen as bivalent or as a grouping of two chromosomes said to be sister chromatids. The site at which the crossing over occurs on the sister chromatids is known as the chiasma. Prophase I is the longest phase during the meiosis process and takes up to 90 percent of the total time of cell division.
