Which mechanism does not repair double strand breaks? recombination photolyase followed by photoreactivation synthesis-dependent strand annealing (SDSA) non-homologous end joining The fluctuation test, regarding the origin of mutations, shows that: Mutations occur randomly, prior to selective pressure The mutation rate fluctuates greatly from organism to organism The mutation rate fluctuates greatly from cell to cell The mutation rate is fairly even across organisms The P element in Drosophila: is active in all cells during embryogenesis is a functional transposon carrying the transposase gene is active when crossing a P female with any male is a functional retrotransposon carrying the reverse transcriptase gene During bacterial conjugation, the F element: is transferred as a double stranded molecule is transferred as a single stranded molecule. 3\' end first enters the donor is transferred as a single stranded molecule. 5\' end first enters the donor is transferred as a single stranded molecule, the leading end is random Which of the following could result in a frameshift mutation? deletion of one nucleotide deletion of three nucleotides deletion of six nucleotides incorporation of a base analog Solution 1Repair of double strand DNA break is a very serious problem if not solved it may cause mutation. So there is several repair mechanisms are present. in the above question all mechanisms can repair DNA break. recombination repair is of two types homologous recombination and NHEJ ( non homologous end joining). in NHEJ no homologous template is used and break ends are linked directly. photolyase is a enzyme activated by light it repairs the mutagenic effect caused by UV light. such as formation of THYMINE dimer. SDSA or synthesis dependent strand annealing is a repair mechanism seen in yeast. in this process repair is initiated by resection of a double strand break to provide 3\' single stranded DNA..
