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.

Why can’t both strands of DNA be replicated at the same time?
kykrilka [37]

Answer:

In both cases, replication occurs so quickly because multiple polymerases can synthesize two new strands at the same time by using each unwound strand from the original DNA double helix as a template.

Which causes acid precipitation?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

D - sulfuric acid

Explanation:

Sulfuric acid is the chief offender in the acid precipitation formation. Sulfur dioxide is delivered from nitrogen oxides and power plants which come from car exhaust. When this pollution enters the atmosphere, they can explore hundreds of miles until they combine with the moisture in the environment which further forms the acids that ultimately reach the surface of the earth and cause damage.

Match the words below to the appropriate blanks in the following sentences.
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

1. Malonyl CoA

2. Inhibits

3.fatty acil CoA

4. Carboxylase

5. Insulin

6. Synthesis

7. Glucagon

8. Oxidation

Explanation:

the oxidation of the mitochondria is blocked by the entry of fatty acid units, a reaction produced by stopping the carnitine acetyl transferase mediated by Malonyl CoA

A key intermediate in fatty acid synthesis ——-Malonyl CoA—-inhibits —-carnitine acyltransferase I, thereby blocking the entry of fatty acyl units into the mitochondrion for oxidation.

The substrates for fatty acid oxidation, ——Fatty acyl CoAs ——-, inhibit fatty acid synthesis by interfering with the polymerization of acetyl-CoA ——carboxylase ——.

Hormonal effects on adipocytes are opposed:——- Insulin ——-promotes fatty acid ———-synthesis ——-by several mechanisms;——Glucagon ——promotes fat breakdown and fatty acid ——Oxidation ——

What is the relationship of an atom, molecule and compound to each other?
MariettaO [177]
An atom is made up of one molecule only whereas a molecule is formed from two or more atoms combined together and held together by intramolecular bones which can possibly from the same or different element. A compounds of numerous molecules held together by intermolecular bonds.
