(a) Interpretation:
The product of dAMP deamination should be determined.
Concept introduction:
Deamination is defined as the process that takes place if there is excess of protein intake and the amino acids are broken down. This results in the removal of amino group from the amino acids and leads to the formation of ammonia.
(b) Interpretation:
The genetic result if the deaminated site in DNA were not repaired and if it is paired with C on the next replication round should be explained.
Concept introduction:
