To determine:
The two major mechanisms for repair of double-strand breaks.
Introduction:
DNA damage occurs due to environmental factors such as exposure to ionizing or non-ionizing radiation, and error occurring during the process of replication. DNA repair is a biological process which involves correction of a sequence of damaged DNA due to a mutation which results in alteration of
To determine:
The difference between mechanisms used for repair of double-strand breaks.
Introduction:
Double strand break involves breakage of both strands of double helical DNA and their function is also disrupted. Double-strand break in DNA is a common type of DNA damage which is caused by ionizing radiation, oxidative radicals, and other chemical mutagens.
