Question

Which of the following describes what happens during mismatch repair of DNA? a)Enzymes identify the newly synthesized DNA strand, remove a segment surrounding the mismatched nucleotides, and resynthesize the DNA segment correctly b) Enzymes cut out both strands of DNA containing the mismatched sequence, copy the same sequence from the homologous chromosome, and insert the copied sequence. C) Enzymes identify the newly copied DNA strand, delete the mismatched nucleotide, pull the gap closed, and join the nucleotides on either side of the gap together. D) Enzymes import a copy of the correct DNA sequence from another cell, cut out the segment of DNA that contains the mismatch, and insert the imported sequence.

Explanation / Answer

a) Enzymes identify the newly synthesized DNA strand, remove a segment surrounding the mismatched nucleotides, and resynthesize the DNA segment correctly
