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.
Store and transmit genetic information: nucleic acid
Are primarily used to store energy: lipids
Help regulate cell processes: proteins
Are used for main source of energy: carbohydrates
Answer:
False
Explanation:
In eukaryotes apart from RNA polymerase, the transcription of genes requires many different proteins called transcription factors. These transcription factors are important to initiate and regulate transcription.
There are two types of transcription factors regulatory and basal transcription factors. Basal transcription factors regulate transcription by binding to a gene promoter and regulatory transcription factor regulates transcription by binding to some regulatory sequences for example enhancers and silencers.
Therefore only basal transcription factor binds to the promoter for regulating transcription. Therefore the statement is false.
