1 Repair of thymine dimers is that the daughter strands have large gaps. one for each unexcised thymine dimer. There is on way to produce viable daughter cell by continued replication alone because the strands having the thymine dimer will continued to turn out gapped daughter strands, and the first set of gapped daughter strands will be fragmented when the enters a gap. By a recombination mechanism involving sister-strand exchange, however, an intact double-stranded molecule can be made The essential idea sister-strand exchange is that single-stranded segment free of any defects is exci
