A Study of the Replication and Repair Mechanisms of Our DNA (1437 words, 6 pages)
IntroductionMutagenic exposure may negatively alter the chemical makeup of DNA. Further replication after mutation can cause a build-up of the damage, resulting in premature cell death. It is therefore essential to understand the DNA repair mechanisms that prevent the replication of damaged DNA. Schizosaccharomyces pombe, or fission yeast, is a ...
