Evolution has the creation of systems that are present to accurately respond to environmental stressors. The UV-damage based repair system works by the NER pathway and the DIRECT repair pathway. Compare the two repair pathways. When is the best time to use the direct repair pathway over the NER pathway?

why are UV rays dangerous to our bodies? What can they do? A. UV rays can mutate the DNA in our skin cells B. UV rays can cause skin cancer C. UV rays can destroy folate D. All of the above
explain the most likely steps of what might happen inside a MDA-MB-231 cell after it is exposed to UV light.
Name the types of mutations that may occur and describe how some of them happen. With regard to UV-induced mutations, think about the fact that most leaves last for just a few months and then are replaced by new leaves the next spring. The next time you are getting a suntan, remember that your dermis must last as long as you live.
Which of the following is an example of a mutation in the MC1R gene that is associated with lighter skin pigmentation in humans? a. I120T b. V60L c. D84E d. R163Q
Platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF) is, as its name suggests, stored in and secreted by platelets. Platelets release PDGF in the vicinity of wounds as part of their participation in the clotting response. PDGF, in turn, stimulates the proliferation of nearby fibroblasts, which help in the wound healing process. When, however, the PDGF gene is mutated or inappropriately expressed, it can lead to cancer. Why, then, does the wound healing response not lead to similar uncontrolled cell division?
Which of the following statements is true about the IL-1 family of cytokines? A. They are powerful activators of inflammation b. They are chemotaxis mediators. c. Directly stimulate the growth of immune system cells in the bone marrow d. They are mainly mediators of the antiviral response
why riboflavin absorbs in the UV-Vis region Pls explain in 6 sentences
Some Pattern Recognition Receptors (PRRs) recognize nucleic acids, like RNA or DNA. Since our own cells contain human RNA and DNA, the activation of innate immune pathways by these PRRs must rely on additional criteria to discriminate self from nonself. Additional criteria include everything EXCEPT: The subcellular location of the RNA The presence of adenosine residues in viral RNA The methylation state of the DNA Unique structures found on viral RNA The subcellular location of the DNA
