Figure 1 represents a segment of DNA. Radiation can damage the nucleotides in a DNA molecule. To repair some types of damage, a

single nucleotide can be removed from a DNA molecule
and replaced with an undamaged nucleotide. Which of the four labeled bonds in Figure 1 could be broken to remove and replace the cytosine nucleotide without affecting the biological
information coded in the DNA molecule?

Answer:

Explanation:

This question is incomplete. However, what is described in this question is a method of DNA damage repair mechanism. The method described is called base excision repair. Generally, glycosylases play important roles in base excision repair (as they detect and remove these damaged bases).

One thing that can be considered while identifying the bond to be broken is the codon that will be formed after the removal of base. If this codon (a three base sequence) will still produce the same protein as when a normal cytosine was present.

NOTE: During this base excision repair, a glycosylase will detect and remove the damaged cytosine. Once removed, the remaining nucleotide backbone (of the removed cytosine) is also removed and the gap is filled and sealed by other enzymes in this repair mechanism.

Chromosome duplications and deletions frequently result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. Which factor is a major cont
kherson [118]

Chromosome duplications and deletions frequently result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. Gene dosage is modified is a major contributor to this phenomenon.

In the field of genetics, we can define gene dosage as the quantitative measure or copies of a particular gene that is present in an organism. Abnormalities in the gene dosage at a particular location can cause severe damage to the resulting phenotype.

Gene dosage can lead to chromosome duplications if the copy number or gene product is more and it can cause deletions if the copy number or gene product is less. Such complications will result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. For example, in Down's syndrome, the person has a modification of the 21st chromosome as there is one extra 21st chromosome present. This leads to a variety of diseases and defects in the person.

Although a part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this question:

Chromosome duplications and deletions frequently result in abnormal phenotypes or inviable gametes. Which factor is a major contributor to this phenomenon?

a. Recessive diseases are unmasked by additional copies.

b. The genes are found in a novel arrangement.

c. Gene dosage is modified.
