E. coli is severely exposed to UV light and is DNA damaged, but it attempts to replicate its genome.  The prophage gets the signal to leave its host’s genome.  The ungrateful phage not only leaves its host but lyses it as it leaves.

Question

E. coli is severely exposed to UV light and is DNA damaged, but it attempts to replicate its genome.  The prophage gets the signal to leave its host’s genome.  The ungrateful phage not only leaves its host but lyses it as it leaves.

What type of damage will the UV light cause to the E. coli

E. coli can attempt to replicate its damaged genome.  What is the name of this type of DNA replication?  What is the name of the response that replicates damaged DNA in E. coli?  Which is one of the proteins involved in this response?           

Explain the events leading to the excision of the lambda prophage from the damaged E. coli, specifically, excision from the host’s genome.
