Human cells were influenced by ultraviolet radiation, and as a consequence of this the DNA molecules had been destroyed. Nevertheless by means of specific enzymes the DNA structure was renewed. What do we call this phenomenon? What type of mutation has taken place there? Write examples of enzymes take part in the described phenomenon.

Why Spontaneous Mutations Occurat a Very Low Rate?
Mutations occur randomly during the process of gene expression or by exposure to mutagens. While some mutations are detrimental, others can create proteins that have positive capabilities. In order for a mutation to be passed to future generations, what must be true about the mutation? * O It must occur during the first stage of DNA replication. O It must result in a longer polypeptide chain than normal. O It must be exposed to extensive radiation. O It must occur in cells that give rise to gametes.
The following statements apply to compounds to which HONO, benzo(a)pyrene, aflatoxin, formaldehyde and chloroform are examples of: A. All may alter DNA sequences because they alkylate nucleotide bases B. All may alter DNA sequences which could result in altered protein products. C. All are mutagenic because they intercalate DNA D. All are mutagenic and causes the production of apurinic sites O E. All are mutagenic because they cause substitution of a base resulting in the production of a protein product with altered sequence
When the enzyme telomerase was first discovered, some peoplethought it might be “the fountain of youth” because it could immortalize cells. Why do you think this may not be the case?
A thymine is changed to an adenine in one DNA codon which causes a particular disorder. Which statement explains how the change in the DNA codon leads to this disorder? * O The frameshift mutation stops the production of a protein in the organism. O The substitution causes a different protein to be produced in the organism. The insertion mutation caused the production of extra protein in the organism. The deletion mutation prevents the production of an important protein in the organism. Which type of mutations are the least harmful to an organism? * Duplication O Substitution Insertion

In the DNA of what kind of cell must a mutation occur for the genetic change to be passed down to future generations?
Explain in your own words what the statement "mutations occur randomly" means
. There is evidence that some oxidative damage to DNA occurs at the nucleo- tide level, with oxidation of a nucleotide, followed by incorporation of the damaged nucleotide into DNA. (a) Describe a pathway by which this could occur. (b) Propose one or more experiments to test whether your proposed path- way does occur.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is the retrovirus that causes AIDS. AZT was one of the first drugs designed to interfere with retroviral DNA synthesis. When cells take up AZT, they convert it to AZT-triphosphate. Explain how AZT interferes with DNA synthesis.
You are studying a bacterial metabolic pathway that results in the synthesis of a product, vitalin, that is essential for survival. In the figure below, each number represents an intermediate product, and each letter represents the enzyme (protein) that catalyzes that step. d 3 e 5 Vitalin Compound 4 > Vitalin You find that bacteria with mutations in either c orf can survive, but a bacterial cell that has mutations in both c and f cannot survive. Which of the following statements explain your observations? Select all that apply. If both genes, c and f, are mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized O If gene c is mutated, then vitalin cannot be synthesized The pathway to synthesis of vitalin is branched, and either one can result in vitalin production gene c is mutated, then bacteria can survive by synthesizing vitalin using enzymes f and g If
