A thymidine dimer is encountered during replication. What types of repair may occur?

What will be an ideal response?


(1) The damage could be replicated over by translesion synthesis. (2) The fork could stall, followed by fork regression. (3) Lesion bypass could occur followed by gap repair. (4) If the replication fork runs into the lesion in the process of being repaired, a double-stranded break could occur that would require recombination repair.
