How is homologous recombination for DNA repair different from recombination in meiosis? Choose all correct answers.         a.  HR in DNA repair requires a double-strand break, but meiotic recombination does not.         b.  HR in DNA repair requires strand invasion, but meiotic recombination does not.         c.  HR in DNA repair results in identical chromosomes. Meiotic recombination results in changes to the DNA sequence of the "repaired" chromosomes.         d.  HR in DNA repair uses a newly synthesized identical chromosome as a template. Meiotic recombination uses a homologous chromosome as a template.
Which of the following does not occur during telomerase extension of parental DNA? a. Translocation of the telomerase across the parental DNA. b. Extension of the DNA that is complementary to the telomerase RNA. c. Polymerisation of the new daughter DNA strand by telomerase. d. Binding of an RNA primer and synthesis of new DNA in a 5' to 3' direction. e. Binding of the telomerase to the telomere.
