With Reference to DNA Repair, Which of the Following Statements

question 5

Multiple Choice

With reference to DNA repair, which of the following statements, if any, is false?

• A) Crosslinking of bases on opposing DNA strands is especially problematic for cells because it presents an obstacle to DNA replication (the replication fork stalls).
• B) Crosslinking of bases on opposing DNA strands can be problematic for cells because it may present an obstacle to transcription (the RNA polymerase stalls).
• C) Double strand DNA breaks are a challenge for cells because if repair is not affected immediately the ends can drift apart quickly making correct repair impossible.
• D) Repair of double stranded DNA breaks is easier in cells prior to DNA replication than after DNA replication has occurred.
