meiotic strand displacement biological_process meiotic displacement loop dissociation The cell cycle process in which the broken 3' single-strand DNA molecule that formed heteroduplex DNA with its complement in an intact duplex DNA is rejected. The Watson-Crick base pairing in the original duplex is restored. The rejected 3' single-strand DNA molecule reanneals with its original complement to reform two intact duplex molecules. This occurs during meiosis. meiotic D-loop processing meiotic displacement loop processing GO:0000714 meiotic D-loop dissociation DNA strand displacement meiosis I cell cycle process
