Indicate true (T) and false (F) statements below regarding the use of homologous recombination in meiosis. Your answer would be a four-letter string composed of letters T and F only, e.g. FFFF.
( ) Meiotic recombination starts with a double-strand break caused by errors in DNA replication.
( ) Meiotic recombination occurs preferentially between DNA from maternal and paternal chromosome pairs.
( ) Holliday junctions can form during meiotic recombination, sometimes in pairs.
( ) During meiotic recombination in human cells, the majority of the invading strands are released, leading to no crossover.

Meiotic recombination requires an initial double-strand break. In contrast to the breaks resulting from DNA damage, this one is provided in a controlled manner by a specialized meiotic protein.
