The correct answer is:  5) NER recognizes helix distortions, while BER recognizes specific base damage.

DNA damage that occurs as a result of radiation, oxidizing reagents, chemicals and other mutagens can be repaired. Excision repair repairs single strand DNA damage and it includes:

• Nucleotide excision repair (NER)-it detects and repairs types of damage that distort the DNA double helix such as those of UV radiation (thymine dimers); not only the damaged nucleotide(s) are removed but also a surrounding patch of DNA

• Base excision repair (BER)-it detects and removes certain types of damaged bases (small, non-helix-distorting bases); enzyme glycosylase is responsible for this type of repair

arlik [135]

Answer:

a. Fiber

Explanation:

The major nutrients required by humans in food are carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins, and minerals. Our food also has dietary fibers and water. Dietary fibers or fibers are also known as roughage. Fibers are present mainly in plant products such as whole grains, pulses, fruits and vegetables. Fibers only add bulk and do not provide any nutrients to us. However, dietary fibers help the body get rid of undigested food.
