Question

Which factor helps in generation of chicken foot Holliday intermediate?

(a) Rec A

(b) Rec BCD

(c) Ruv ABC

(d) Rec FOR

I got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.

This question is from Repair of DNA Damage: Recombinational and Bypass topic in portion DNA Mutation, DNA Repair, Transposable Elements of Cytogenetics

Answer 1

The generation of the chicken foot Holliday intermediate during homologous recombination is facilitated by the Ruv ABC complex. This complex plays a critical role in the branch migration and resolution of Holliday junctions, which are key intermediates in the recombination process.

Thus, the correct answer is (c) Ruv ABC.
