Oxidative damage to DNA can often result in the alteration of a single nucleotide.
Harman [31]

Answer:

Repair mechanism for base cleavage (BER)

Explanation:

Repair by base cleavage (BER)

The altered bases are specifically recognized by glycosylases and removed, generating an AP site. The hole is filled by a DNA polymerase that takes the healthy strand as a template. This system arises not only by exposure to external agents, but also by the cell's own activity.

In case of damage in more than one nucleotide, repair by nucleotide excision (NER) is performed.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER)

The damaged area is recognized by UvrA and B, then A and B separate and UvrC enters which forms a complex with endonuclease activity with B. This enzyme cuts the T-dimer and the gap is filled by a DNA polymerase. There is also the TC-NER system (transcription-coupled nucleotide repair system). The alteration of these mechanisms gives rise to diseases such as: Xeroderma pigmentosum, Trichotiodystrophy or Cockayne Syndrome

grin007 [14]

Answer:

The barrier functions to regulate the chemical composition of the extracellular fluid surrounding the brain cells.

Explanation:

Blood-brain barrier

It is a very selective semipermeable membrane , hence allow some specific substance to pass via it . This barrier separates the  extracellular fluid in the central nervous system  and the circulating blood from the brain .

<u>The barrier is composed of the endothelial cells .</u>

Passive diffusion is shown in this system , and allows molecules like the water , glucose , amino acid to pass .

It regulates the chemical composition of the fluid of brain cell .
