DNA Holliday junction. Computer model of a Holliday junction (centre) between homologous strands of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). A Holliday junction forms during crossing over, a natural genetic process that occurs between homologous chromosomes and leads to the switching of genetic material between the chromosomes. This recombination increases the genetic variation in a population.
