Chapter 15, Problem 8TY
Summary Introduction
Introduction: The causative agents which cause the phenomenon of mutation are called mutagens. Mutagens can cause the alteration in the genome of an organism, which, most of the times are fatal to the organism’s body. The presence of NER system in the organism’s body helps in the correction of defects produced in the strands of DNA.

Reversal of DNA repair mechanism requires a DNA template C. UV light is needed to initiate the formation of pyrimidine dimers D. None of the statement is correctarrow_forwardWhich dna strand will be synthesized continuously during dna replication? a.The strand that is synthesized as Okazki Fragments b.the strand which is synthesized in the opposite direction compared to the direction of DNA unwinding? c.the strand which is sythesized in the same direction as the same direction of DNA unwinding? d.The m-RNA like strand e.
