UV radiation causes covalent dimerization of two subsequent ______ bases in DNA. This dimer is recognized and repaired by ______.
Select one:
a. C and C ;;;; DNA photolyase
b. T and T ;;;;; DNA photolyase
c. C and C ;;;; DNA photoisomerase
d. T and T ;;;;; DNA photoisomerase
e. None of the above
The answer will be option A. UV radiation causes dimerized CC to bind with AA causing problems. This is immediately repaired in seconds by DNA photolyase.
Hope this helps!

Repair of DNA damage from UV radiation
DNA damage from UV radiation needs to be repaired if
DNA replication occurs without error. the following plot shows how
cell survival is affected in the presence of UV radiation. Notice
that the wild-type cells can overcome the damaging effects of UV
radiation on DNA and show high survival even as UV increases.
However, cells deficient in certain genes display relatively much
lower survival rates.

Match the following terms with their descriptions below. Question Selected Match Mutant allele is mutated to wild-type C. Reverse mutation Flat planar molecule able to sandwich between DNA bases A. Intercalator A region of DNA more likely to acquire mutations B. Hot spot Light-requiring thymine dimer repair mechanism D. Alkyltransferase Single-use repair of nitrogen mustard DNA alkylation E. Photoreactivation (18) Which of the following is incorrectly paired? A. UV light - Thymine dimer B. Imino form cytosine- Transition D. TNRE...
and Lab Exer n this experiment you will evaluate effect of UV light on bacterial growth. UV light affects growth by interfering with DNA, resulting in thymine dimer formation. The dimerization is confined within adjacent thymine residues on same strand (intrastrand ). These dimmer lesions have consequence on DNA functions including interference in DNA replication, transcription etc, so UV exposure of cells can lead to lethal effects for bacterial multiplications. This forms the basis for UV method to control bacterial...
Which of the following is true? a. The two strands of a DNA molecule are held together by covalent bonds. b.

The bases on one strand of DNA are held to the bases on the other strand by hydrogen bonds.
Please answer the following questions
Thanks!

Deamination of a cytosine base in DNA results in a uracil base, which is disallowed in DNA. To resolve this conflict, this DNA needs to be repaired. For this, the modified base is recognized and removed by a ______, resulting in an AP site, which is recognized and cleaved by an endonuclease for nick-translation. Select one: a. exonuclease b. Uracyl DNA-glycosylase c. HindIII restriction endonuclease d. Klenow fragment e. AP-site endonuclease
