postreplication repair

postreplication repair
a damage tolerance mechanism that allows DNA synthesis to continue across damaged regions of DNA when the lesions have not been repaired prior to replication; the gaps resulting in the daughter strands are filled in by recombination with intact undamaged parental strands.
