Holliday junction is formed during the break model of homologous recombination by break in DNA and strand invasion,each invading strand joins to the broken end of other DNA molecule,creating a Holliday junction
Two types of cleavage occurs in this type of junction-horizontal and vertical cleavage
Cleavage in vertical plane produces cross over recombinant consisting of 2 heteroduplex DNA
