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.

The way that neurons communicate is through _____________ _________________ which release _________________ .
Ne4ueva [31]

The way that neurons communicate is through synaptic vesicles which release neurotransmitters.

<h3>What are Neurons?</h3>

The neurons are the basic structural and functional unit of the nervous system.

These neurons are able to communicate to each other through the neurotransmitters that are released by synaptic vesicles.

The neurotransmitters are chemical messengers that carry chemical signals from one neuron to another upon the generation of an action potential.

The synaptic vesicles are the organelles that house these neurotransmitters.
