Answer:
The correct answer is option E. "direct repair using photolyase has removed many of the pyrimidine dimers from the DNA in an error-free manner, so there are fewer lesions for SOS repair to process".
Explanation:
Photolyase is a type of enzyme that catalyses DNA repair from damage caused by exposure to ultraviolet light. Photolyase requires activation by exposure visible light, particularly from the violet end of the visible spectrum. If the Petri plates of the bacteria exposed to UV are located in an incubator that is closely at a large sunny windows, it is very likely that the bacteria is performing direct DNA repair using its photolyase enzymes.
Answer:
Migration distance is inversely proportional to the fragment size,
Explanation:
Gel electrophoresis is a technique used in molecular biology that uses electricity to separate biological molecules based on size (DNA) or charge (proteins). For the DNA molecule, different sizes are separated from one another based on how fast they can migrate through the gel matrix.
In this technique, small fragments or sizes of DNA migrates farther than long sizes of DNA due to low friction in the matrix. In other words, the smaller the size of the DNA fragment, the farther the migration distance and vice versa. This shows that an INVERSE RELATIONSHIP exists between the migration distance and the fragment size in the electrophoresis procedure.
Because of this charge increase, the atoms of the alkaline earth metals are smaller and have higher first ionization energies than the alkali metals within the same period. The higher ionization energy makes the alkaline earth metals less reactive than the alkali metals; however, they are still very reactive elements
From prophase through metaphase of mitosis, each chromosome has 2 DNA molecule(s), while from anaphase through telophase of mitosis, each chromosome has one DNA molecule.
Explanation:
Mitosis is a process in which 2 identical daughter cells are formed in which DNA gets split into two sets of chromosome.
Mitosis occurs in four phases: Prophase, metaphase, Anaphase and Telophase.
After the G2 phase the DNA amount increases and get ready for the division here sister chromatid are seen not chromosome.
In metaphase the chromosome align at the equatorial plate and readied to separate the sister chromatids easily. Each chromatid contains 1 DNA molecule, in this phase two sister chromatids are there so 2 molecules of DNA are present.
In Anaphase the sister chromatids are pulled towards the opposite ends. Each cell receives one chromatid which is now 2 chromosmes. So one chromatid will have one DNA molecule.
