Chapter 16: 16-8TYU (page 334)
The spontaneous loss of amino groups from adenine in DNA results in hypoxanthine, an uncommon base, opposite thymine. What combination of proteins could repair such damage?
- nuclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase
- telomerase, primase, DNA polymerase
- telomerase, helicase, single-stranded binding protein
- DNA ligase, replication fork proteins, adenylyl cyclase
Short Answer
- The option 鈥渘uclease, DNA polymerase, DNA ligase鈥 is true.
- The option 鈥渢elomerase, primase, DNA polymerase鈥 is false.
- The option 鈥渢elomerase, helicase, single-stranded binding protein鈥 is false.
- The option 鈥淒NA ligase, replication fork proteins, adenylyl cyclase鈥 is false.
