Answer:

d. error-prone repair

Explanation:

DNA polymerases are the enzymes responsible for synthesizing DNA, not only making faithful replicas of our chromosomes, but also carrying out the necessary repairs for the proper maintenance of your genetic information. Either due to the intensity of the genotoxic damage or due to defects in the repair machinery, the ideal situation of having a pristine, original mold of DNA for copying is not always possible, which explains the existence of a special type of DNA polymerases, specialized in tolerating various DNA lesions through a copy process called "translesion synthesis" which is an "error-prone" or error-guaranteeing.

There is also a new human translesion DNA polymerase, perhaps the oldest of all, and that is capable of initiating the synthesis of new DNA chains acting as a primase. This enzyme, called PrimPol, is present in both cellular compartments that contain DNA (the nucleus and mitochondria). Through gene silencing experiments it was shown that PrimPol is necessary for mitochondrial DNA replication, probably tolerating the high oxidative damage associated with the respiratory activity of these organelles.

Agata [3.3K]

Answer:

1. Number of DNA molecules after 30 Cycles of PCR = 1.02 x 10^9

2. No. of mutant DNA molecules = 1.07 x 10^9

Explanation:

1. You just have to take the exponential of 2 to the power of the number of PCR cycles (2^n)

2. All copies were normal at cycle 10 that are about 1024 copies. At cycle 11 single point error, all further copies are mutated.

which of the following best describes the interaction between the nervous system and the immune system?
Lynna [10]
The immune system and the nervous system maintain extensive communication, including 'hardwiring' of sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves to lymphoid organs. Neurotransmitters such as acetylcholine, norepinephrine, vasoactive intestinal peptide, substance P and histamine modulate immune activity.
