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.

Both aerobic and anaerobic bacteria can cause infections in people, generally in environments that enable the bacteria to thrive
Alex787 [66]
Aerobic bacteria cause an infection on the surface of the skin, and anaerobic bacteria cause an infection in a heart muscle.
An aerobic bacteria can survive and grow in a oxygenated environment. A perfect environment is the skin because it's in contact with a lot of oxygen.On the other hand, an anaerobic bacteria cannot grow in the presence of oxygen. So for them to cause an infection, they need to be in a place without this gas, just like the heart which a deep tissue.

How is it possible for percolating groundwater to remove mineral material as well as deposit it?
cluponka [151]
Percolating water can both remove mineral materials as well deposit it. Percolating water removes the undesirable materials from the rocks that come in its contact. In this way it erodes the surface of the rock and deposits it on the upper layer of the soil, thus enriching the soil.
Similarly the desirable materials are removed from the surface and deposited and concentrated. These processes are referred as secondary enrichment.
