Answer:

Explanation:

The damage to DNA usually occurs where there are two consecutive thymine nucleotides on a DNA strand. The energy from the UV light causes the two dimers to form a cyclobutane pyrimidine structure. Proofreading and repair mechanism of DNA find it difficult to repair this kind of damage on DNA. During replication, therefore, DNA polymerase is unable to replicate this region hence leading to a mutation on the replicated strand at this local point.

An enzyme that can bind to and break apart molecules of lactose should also be able to bind: a. fatty acids. b. amino acids. c.

Airida [17]

Answer: Option E) None of the above is true; this enzyme could bind none of these.

Explanation:

Lactose is a dissacharide composed of glucose and galactose. Hence, the enzyme lactase break down lactose into its simple sugar constituents.

However, lactase cannot bind nor break down amino acids, starch (with only glucose units) or sucrose (with two glucose units) because their constituent molecules differ markedly from that of lactose.

Thus, the enzyme lactase could bind with none of the options provided except lactose
