What role does the MutL protein play in DNA repair? (5 POINTS) It performs a proofreading function, similar to DNA polymerase, a

nd removes incorrect bases from the template DNA strand. It recognizes and binds to a pair of "mismatched" nucleotides, preventing their translation. It recognizes the newly-synthesized DNA strand (e.g., by detecting nicks), ensuring only it—and not the template strand—is repaired. It helps to link together regions of DNA, after an error has been removed via exonuclease.

Answer:

It recognizes and binds to a pair of "mismatched" nucleotides, preventing their translation.

Explanation:

Mut L protein is involved in mismatch DNA repair. MutL protein is complexed with MutS protein and the MutL-MutS complex recognizes all the mismatched base pairs present in the newly formed DNA strand. The complex can not recognize the "C-C" pairs. MutH protein joins the complex.

The MutH protein also has a site-specific endonuclease activity and cleaves the unmethylated DNA strand towards the 5' end of the guanine base in the GATC sequence to mark the strand for DNA repair. In this way, MutL protein, along with MutS and MutH proteins mark the mismatched DNA bases for repair so that they are not translated into a faulty protein.

A tree grows about one-foot each year. you carve your initials into the trunk of a tree that is 15 feet tall. your initials are
hjlf
The initials will still be 4 feet above the ground.

Trees do not grow from the bottom up. At the branch tips there is meristem tissue, so called the apical meristem. Trees grow in height from these apical meristems, so trees grow from the top and the initials on the bottom of the tree will stay at the same height above the ground.

A soil profile with labels O, A, B, C. O: top layer. A: second layer. B: third layer. C: bottom layer. Examine the soil profile
Savatey [412]

Label O is organic material, label A is topsoil, label B is subsoil and label C is weathered rock. They represent different soil layers.

<h3>Soil layers</h3>

Soli layers, also called horizons, refer to the different layers observed on the ground.

The topsoil is a layer of soil composed of a mixture of sand, silt, clay and organic material referred to as humus.

Weathering rocks refer to the dissolved rocks and/or minerals on the Earth's surface.

Subsoil refers to the layer under the topsoil on the surface of the ground.
