Answer:

D. deamination of cytosine to uracil

Explanation:

Hydrolytic DNA damage is usually a consequence of metabolic reactions and the most common example of this type of damage is hydrolysis of cytosine into uracil with the release of ammonia. This damage can be fixed by the cell's DNA repair system:removal of uracil  by an enzyme uracil-DNA glycosylase and consequently generation of an abasic (AP) site.  AP endonucleases recognise AP site and break a phosphodiester bond so that lesion can be replaced with another cytosine.

What was the purpose of adding methotrexate to the cells expressing a genetically-engineered Dihydrofolate Reductase enzyme in t
ira [324]

Answer:

Methotrexate inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, and protein synthesis of the cells in the experiment.

Explanation:

Methotrexate competitively inhibits the enzyme dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) which is involved in the synthesis of tetrahydrofolate from the inactive dihydrofolate. The methotrexate blocks the enzyme by binding to its active site thereby preventing further reaction of the dihydrofolate reductase enzyme and dihydrofolate. Tetrahydrofolate is a useful material for the de novo synthesis of thymidine, a nucleoside. And without thymidine, DNA synthesis is hindered. Methotrexate therefore inhibits the synthesis of DNA, RNA, thymidylates and of course protein synthesis.
