ANSWER
A) TRUE.
* Melanin is a effective absorbent of light and it can dissipate most of the UV radiation
which is absorbed due to this characterstics melanin help to protect skin cells from UV rays
and prevent damage of DNA of skin cells which leads to cancer.
* But over exposure of UV rays result in oxidization of melanin and DNA damage occur in the
skin cells leads to skin cancer.(eg; Malignant melanoma)
DNA damage that may lead to skin cancer occurs when ultraviolet rays oxidize melanin. nswers A B A True B False
Most of the damage to DNA caused by x-rays occurs when they interact with water, knocking one of the electrons loose and creating a free radical. The energy required to do this is approximately 300 kJ/mole. If a stray photon is moving at the speed of light, estimate the wavelength(s) of electromagnetic radiation needed to create a free radical.
Ionizing radiation and oxidative damage can cause DNA double-strand breaks. A. True. B False Nucleotide Excision Repair involves recognition of distortions in the DNA double helix rather than specific base changes. A. True. B False Homologous recombination does not occur in prokaryotic cells. A. True. B False Many chemotherapeutic agents are paradoxically DNA damaging agents A. True. B False Meiot.c recombination starts with, double-strand break caused by errors In DNA replication A. True. B False ONA replication origins are typically...

Each of the following statements about the structure of DNA may be either true or false. Choose the appropriate answer for each of these statements. Bonding between adenine and thymine on opposite strands involves two hydrogen bonds. Nitrogenous bases are located on the outside of the double helix: phosphates are located towards the middle of the double helix. Bonding between guanine and cytosine on opposite strands involves three hydrogen bonds. DNA and RNA are structurally different due to the difference...

RESTRICTION DIGEST ANALYSIS QUESTIONS(true or yes = A: false or no = b) 1. Larger DNA fragments appear near the bottom of the gel. 2. Larger DNA fragments move more rapidly through the gel. D ONA that has many restriction sites for a certain endonuclease will be cut into more fragmets than DNA with fewer restriction sites. 4. Cutting DNA with many different endonucleases will result in more DNA fragments. 5. Restriction enzymes all recognize the same base sequence when...
