Answer c
Because the lowest one is at the bottom near 5 and the top one is on 25m and for it to be at 11m will be the wrong answer.
Answer:
a. True, b. False, c.True, d. True
Explanation:
a. Base excision repair is started by a DNA glycosylase that recognizes the changes and removes the altered base by cleavage of the glycosidic bond binding the base and the deoxyribose sugar together.
b. Nucleotide excision repair works by a cut-and patch mechanism that removes their heavy lesions, including pyrimidine dimers and nucleotides . Endonucleases are responsible for the lesion of the damaged strand.
c. Nucleotide excision repair is initiated by the proteins namely UvrA, UvrC, and UvrB in Escherichia coli.
-UvrD (helicase II) later removes the damaged strand
-DNA polymerase I (PolI) fills in the resulting gap.
d. DNA glycolases removes the damaged nitrogenous base.
-It leaves the sugar-phosphate backbone intact and thus creating an apurinic/apyrimidinic site, which is commonly referred to as an AP site.
e. Xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group A(XPA)
-This is an essential protein in the nucleotide excision repair pathway.
- It helps to make a pre-incision complex along with other proteins.
The statement that is false about base stacking is; B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.
<h3>What is the truth about Base Stacking?</h3>
Base stacking is defined as a common arrangement of nucleobases that are found in the three dimensional structure of nucleic acids. Bases (or base pairs) are planar, and these planes stack at contact distance , excluding water and maximizing Van der Waals interactions.
Looking at the given options, the only one that can be said to be false about the defined base stacking above as regards nucleic acids is option B.
The missing options are;
A. Stacking interactions occur when two or more bases are positioned with their rings parallel to each other.
B. Stacking interactions are hydrophilic in nature.
C. Stacking involves a combination of van der Waals and dipole-dipole interactions between bases.
D. Base stacking helps to minimize contact of the bases with water.
E. Base stacking interactions are important in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of nucleic acids.
