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

Answer:

Base Excision Repair

Explanation:

It is a field of biochemistry and genetics which deals with the repair of damaged DNA all through the cell cycle. Its main function is to remove small, non-helix-distorting base lesions away from the genome.

It prevents mutations from being incorporated into the DNA while it is being copied.

It is initiated by the enzyme DNA glycosylases (it helps pinpoint and exclude destroyed or mismatched nucleobases, allowing for recovering of the basic DNA sequence by follow-on BER enzymes).

Anton [14]

Answer: The correct answer would be gene pool.

Explanation:

Gene pool refers to the sum of all the alleles in an individual.

The allele refers to the alternate forms of the gene.

Large population usually has more genetic diversity as compared to small population. Variation in gene pool is essential for survival of a population.

Which of the following best describes the relationship between the sun and Jupiter?
Softa [21]

Answer: B) Jupiter and the sun have a similar composition.

Explanation:The only significant difference between the sun and Jupiter is in the sizes i.e jupiter is smaller compared to the size of the sun.

However their similarities is in their composition i.e what they are made up (helium and hydrogen).

The core of Jupiter is made up of liquid metallic hydrogen and the sun's core or center is also made up 34% mass plasma of hydrogen.

So option B (Jupiter and the sun have a similar composition) best describes the relationship between Jupiter and the sun.

sveticcg [70]
<span>The correct answer is d. increase the rate of breathing.</span>
<span>
Peripheral chemoreceptors (the carotid and aortic bodies) can sense hypercapnia (high CO2) and then they send a signal to the breathing centre. Breathing centre is in medulla oblongata which regulates breathing movements. When CO2 reaches a certain level, a signal is sent to trigger an inhalation and the rate of breathing is increased.</span>
