Hemophilia!


Hemophilia<span> is a disease that prevents blood from clotting properly, so a person
who has it bleeds more than someone without hemophilia does.
</span>
For more info:
When most people get a cut, the body naturally protects itself. Sticky cells in the blood called platelets go to where the bleeding is and plug up the hole. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various proteins in the blood known as clotting factors. These proteins mix with the platelets to form fibres and these fibers make the clot stronger and stop the bleeding. Our bodies have 13 clotting factors that work together in this process (numbered using Roman numerals from I through XIII). Having too little of factors VIII (8) or IX (9) is what causes hemophilia. A person with hemophilia will only lack one factor, either factor VIII or factor IX, but not both.<span>

Which of the following occurs when a cell repairs a double-strand DNA break by the process of nonhomologous end joining? 1.The D
victus00 [196]

Answer:

option 3

Explanation:

In non-homologous end joining, the break ends are directly ligated together without the need for a homologous template unlike the homologous repair. this form of repair uses short homologous sequences of DNA termed microhomologies to direct repair and these microhomologies are seen as single-stranded overhangs found on the ends of double-strand breaks. When the overhangs are perfectly compatible, NHEJ ligates and repair the break. When these overhangs are not compatible, imprecise repair leading to deletion of nucleotides can also occur which is much more common .
