In eukaryotes homologous recombination is initiated by Rad5

In eukaryotes, homologous recombination is initiated by _____. Rad51 generating double-stranded DNA breaks ATM signaling double-stranded DNA breaks RecA, RecB, and RecC generating single-stranded DNA breaks Spo11 generating double-stranded DNA breaks p53 generating single-stranded DNA breaks

Solution

Ans. Spo 11 generating double stranded DNA breaks initiates homologous recombination in eukaryotes. It creates double-stranded breaks in the DNA in the early stages of this process and two Spo11 proteins are involved in each double stranded break event.
