Use Figure 1 to determine what nitrogen base pairs with Cytosine in the DNA structure?
In the G2 cell checkpoint, if the cell fails to catch a mistake made in the DNA sequence, then what could happen?
Explain how p53 helps us avoid developing cancer in a healthy cell but increases the risk of cancer when it doesn’t function properly.
