Answer:

SSA

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene conversion is a specific type of homologous recombination that involves the unidirectional transfer of genetic material from a ‘donor’ sequence to a highly homologous ‘acceptor’. Gene conversion mediates the transfer of genetic information from intact homologous sequences to the region that contains the DSB, and it can occur between sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes or homologous sequences on either the same chromatid or different chromosomes.

SSA, which stand for Single Strand Annealing, is a DNA double strand break (DSB) repair pathway that uses homologous repeats to bridge DSB ends.
