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.
