Questions and Answers

Which DNA repair mechanism could result in mutations due to several bases being deleted or added?

  • Nonhomologous end joining (NHEJ) (correct)
  • Zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs)
  • Homology-directed repair (HDR)
  • Transcription Activator-like effector nucleases (TALENs)

    • What is the function of zinc finger nucleases (ZFNs)?

  • To induce gene silencing or enhance transcription
  • To fix dsDNA damage by copying from a homologous template
  • To recognize a specific nucleotide triplet
  • To anchor zinc finger DBD to engineered nuclease FokI (correct)

    • What is the purpose of CRISPR-Cas9 bacterial system?

  • To synthesize RNA constructs that target specific genes
  • To recognize and destroy viral DNA (correct)
  • To incorporate viral DNA into bacterial cells
  • To repair dsDNA damage using a homologous template
