DNA replication can stall as a consequence of the replication machinery encountering hairpin DNA structures that can form due to inverted repeats and palindromic sequences

When DNA replication stalls, double-strand breaks in the DNA can occur, causing severe genetic and cellular consequences. Both Werner syndrome (premature onset of age-related phenotypes and cancer) and Bloom syndrome (cancer) are the result of mutations in helicase, an enzyme that unwinds hairpin structures. Helicase most likely breaks which type of bonds in a hairpin? A. glycosidic B. phosphodiester C. hydrogen D. peptide E. covalent
