What types of DNA damage will trigger DNA repair?
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: There are two general types of DNA damage that will induce DNA repair systems. First, base changes that result in mispaired bases (such as U-G) may be detected and repaired before DNA replication, preventing a mutation. Second, changes to the DNA that cause structural distortions that would interfere with transcription or replication must be repaired before those processes can proceed.
