To repair an error or damage First,Detect the errors or damage Second,Mend/repair the errors or lesions in a way to restore the original DNA sequence. 2025/5/15 7
2025/5/15 7 To repair an error or damage First, Detect the errors or damage Second, Mend/repair the errors or lesions in a way to restore the original DNA sequence

Questions to be addressed 1.How is the DNA mended rapidly enough to prevent errors from becoming set in the genetic material as mutation 2.How does the cell distinguish the parental strand from the daughter strand in repairing replication errors 2025/5/15
2025/5/15 8 Questions to be addressed 1. How is the DNA mended rapidly enough to prevent errors from becoming set in the genetic material as mutation 2. How does the cell distinguish the parental strand from the daughter strand in repairing replication errors

3.How does the cell restore the proper DNA sequence when the original sequence can no longer be read? 4.How does the cell deal with lesions that block replication? 2025/5/15 9
