| double-strand break | A break in double-stranded DNA in which both strands have been cleaved; however, the two strands have not separated from each other. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| lagging strand | The DNA strand that is replicated discontinuously from the 5' to the 3' direction. See: Okazaki fragments. Compare: leading strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
| four-strand crossing over | Crossing over with both strands of DNA from each sister chromatid, so that both strands from one chromatid are exchanged for both strands on the other. This is different from the usual case where only one of the two DNA strands on one sister chromatid is exchanged for the one matching strand (of the two strands) on the other sister chromatid. (09 Oct 1997) |
| leading strand | The DNA strand that is synthesised continuously during replication Compare: lagging strand. (09 Oct 1997) |
