For single strand break and double strand break, you have an entire DNA base labeled. The break only occurs at the sugar-phosphate linkage. I am sure you were just trying to emphasize one versus two strands, but the break does not knock out an entire base. Just cleaves the backbone bond.

right. I got the illustration from wikimedia as stated, but I guess the point is made.

You should have asked, I could have made you one just like those but with the appropriate locations highlighted!

I might ask for that in a write-up on dna damage and repair.

Let me know what sort of things you need, and I will coordinate my schedule with you so I can make them. :) You are also free to re-use my images from my previous write up on that topic if you find them helpful.

thank you :D that's very kind of you :)
