DNA damage can occur as a result of exposure to chemicals or ultraviolet radiation. What happens during nucleotide excision repa

ir of damaged DNA? A. Enzymes delete an incorrect DNA sequence, pull the gap closed, and join the bases on either side of the gap together B. Enzymes cut out the damaged gene, copy the same gene from the homologous chromosome, and insert the copy C. Enzymes detect an incorrect DNA base pairing in a DNA strand, remove the incorrect base, and insert the correct base. D. Enzymes open the DNA strand, remove a segment of DNA from the strand that contains the damage, and resynthesize the correct DNA sequence.

Answer:

D. Enzymes open the DNA strand, remove a segment of DNA from the strand that contains the damage, and resynthesize the correct DNA sequence.

Explanation:

From time to time, the DNA gets exposed to certain chemicals or radiation that damages it. However, the cell has a DNA repair mechanism in place called NUCLEOTIDE EXCISION REPAIR (NER).

NUCLEOTIDE EXCISION REPAIR (NER) is one of the DNA repair mechanisms in which certain enzymes open the DNA strand, remove a segment of DNA that contains the damaged gene or nucleotide bases, and resynthesize the correct DNA sequence using the pair of the damaged one.

Oh boy, there's many, many, many, many...
(many x100)
many ways!

One way is to take shorter showers and conserve water wherever you go, at home, at a restaurant, hotel, etc.

Another way is to not litter on the streets.

Or, spread the word and tell everyone to conserve water, not litter, or just anything to help the environment!

Which of the following locations will be relatively warmer during summers, and why? An inland location, because water heats up f
Katen [24]

Answer:

An inland location, because land has lower specific heat than water

Explanation:

The specific heat is a measure of how much heat must be supplied to warm up a substance by a certain number of degrees.

Water has a much higher specific heat than land, so it takes much more heat energy to heat up a given mass of water compared to the land.

To say it another way, the specific heat of land is much less than that of water, so it doesn't take as much heat energy to warm up the land.

Thus, an inland location will be relatively warmer during summers.
