Answer
The repair pathway mentioned in the image is likely referring to the nucleotide excision repair (NER) pathway.
Solution
a
Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER): This pathway is responsible for removing bulky DNA adducts, such as those caused by UV radiation or chemical mutagens
b
Mechanism: The NER pathway excises an oligonucleotide segment containing the lesion and replaces it with newly synthesized DNA
Key Concept
Nucleotide Excision Repair (NER)
Explanation
NER is a DNA repair mechanism that removes bulky lesions by excising a segment of the DNA strand and filling in the gap with new DNA.
