Dna damage can occur as a result of exposure to chemicals or ultraviolet radiation. This is what happens during nucleotide excision repair of damaged dna. A multienzyme complex crosses the DNA in search of distortions in the double helix, once located, the phosphate skeleton of the affected chain is cut on both sides of the altered region, a helicase eliminates the oligonucleotide resulting from digestion, the "Gap" "is filled with a DNA polymerase and a ligase.

ohaa [14]

Polymorphic. Polymorphisms refer to spasmodic genetic variation within the same species of an organism resulting in varying forms of the species. Polymorphic viruses, mutate at faster rates hence the virus population is subject to high rates of turnovers. The high divergence of various species, such as influenza, is as a result of 0.01 mutations per nucleotide site per year.

During the cross-bridge cycle in muscle cells, myosin motors hydrolyze ATP as fuel to create a pulling force on actin fibers. Pl
exis [7]

Answer and Explanation:

In rest, attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments are inhibited by the tropomyosin. When the muscle fiber membrane depolarizes, the action potential caused by this depolarization enters the t-tubules depolarizing the inner portion of the muscle fiber. This activates calcium channels in the T tubules membrane and releases calcium into the sarcolemma. At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to the troponin C, the troponin T alters the tropomyosin by moving it and then unblocks the binding sites. Myosin heads bind to the uncovered actin-binding sites forming cross-bridges, and while doing it ATP is transformed into ADP and inorganic phosphate which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin.  Z-bands are then pulled toward each other, thus shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, and producing muscle fiber contraction.
