Fatty acids are building blocks of lipids. The correct option is A.

Fats and oil are known as lipids.

Lipids are part of the classes of food which are made up of high proportion of carbon and hydrogen with very little oxygen.

Fats are solids and oils are liquids at room temperature. They serve the following functions to the body:

  • They provide the body with energy
  • They are solvents for fat-soluble vitamins and hormones.

Before lipids can be absorbed into the body, they must be broken down into fatty acids and glycerol.

Therefore, fatty acids are building blocks of lipids.

Oxidative damage to DNA can often result in the alteration of a single nucleotide.
Harman [31]

Answer:

Repair mechanism for base cleavage (BER)

Explanation:

Repair by base cleavage (BER)

The altered bases are specifically recognized by glycosylases and removed, generating an AP site. The hole is filled by a DNA polymerase that takes the healthy strand as a template. This system arises not only by exposure to external agents, but also by the cell's own activity.

In case of damage in more than one nucleotide, repair by nucleotide excision (NER) is performed.

Nucleotide excision repair (NER)

The damaged area is recognized by UvrA and B, then A and B separate and UvrC enters which forms a complex with endonuclease activity with B. This enzyme cuts the T-dimer and the gap is filled by a DNA polymerase. There is also the TC-NER system (transcription-coupled nucleotide repair system). The alteration of these mechanisms gives rise to diseases such as: Xeroderma pigmentosum, Trichotiodystrophy or Cockayne Syndrome
