Agene exists in two alleles, which we will call b and b. the gene is 1123 bp in length, and the b and b alleles exhibit single base pair differences at six different sites. if gene conversion changed the b allele into the b allele, which mechanism would you favor to explain the conversion

The below options will complete the question

Select one:

a. Gap repair synthesis

b. Mismatch repair

c. Direct repair

d. Nucleotide excision repair

Our answer is surely A.

a. Gap repair synthesis

Explanation:

Alleles of gene B differ by 6 bps and are seeming close to each other among the 1123 bp within the particular gene, favouring the gap repair synthesis.

In the gap repair synthesis, a double stranded break is formed at a homologous chromosome with a small part of the gene or the 6 bps of the recessive allele

being digested away.

Strand invasion and a D-loop formation is followed by the new region being occupied by the dominant B allele to yielding dominant B allele in both chromosomes.

The gap repair synthesis allows the 6bps to be converted to the dominant B from the recessive b when in proximity/being close together.

lysosomes contain a variety of enzymes, enabling the cell to break down various biomolecules it engulfs, including peptides, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids (lysosomal lipase). the enzymes responsible for this hydrolysis require an acidic environment for optimal activity. hope i !

the relative standard reduction potential of the half-cell in which reduction occurs; more positive than the other half-cell. reduction is a chemical process in which electrons are added to an atom or an ion; it always occurs accompanied by oxidation of the reducing agent.
