What is the primary function of dna replication in adult human somatic cells?

Biology

Pani-rosa [81]3 years ago

Answer:

The primary function of DNA replication in adult human somatic cells is to produce similar copies for the proper growth of the body.

Explanation:

Somatic cells are any cells of the body of an organism that are not;

  1. gametes such as <em>sperm and egg cells</em>
  2. the cells from which these gametes are produced
  3. undifferentiated stem cells

<u>For instance</u>, cells of inner organs, skin, blood, bones, etc.

The goal or the primary function of DNA replication is to create two identical copies of a DNA molecule.

In adult human somatic cells, this is primarily necessary for cell division throughout the growth and repair of damaged tissues in the body. DNA replication assures that each new cell receives its own copy of the DNA to form cells that are similar to the parent cells.

How is the enzyme ligase beneficial in genetic engineering?
devlian [24]
The name comes from a latin word meaning to glue or bind together. DNA ligase catalyses the joining of DNA fragments (usually those produced by restriction enzymes). Thus different genes can be put into vectors and moved into other hosts.

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer and Explanation:

A gene is a section of DNA. The change in the sequence of the DNA is known as mutation.  Mutation always changes the sequence of the DNA. Sunlight can cause mutation. Sunlight produces structures named thymine dimers. Thymine dimers produce twist in the shape of DNA. These twists make DNA hard to copy, which can lead to mutation. It is essential to use sunscreen to block UVA and UVB rays to prevent thymine dimers from emerging in our cells. The US Food and Drug Agency recommends an SPF (sun protection factor) to defend against skin aging and skin cancer. X-ray radiation is a form used in x-rays. The energy level of the X-ray radiation is very high that can produce free radicals. Free radicals can steal electrons from DNA that can cause mutation. By using medical images, we can decrease exposure to X-rays. Less exposure to X-rays prevents mutation and also prevents the production of gene protein in other body parts.
