Chapter 10, Problem 44RE
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason behind the fact that nonhomologous end joining is an error-prone mechanism is to be explained.

Concept introduction:

The preservation of the DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) double helix integrity is very important for the maintenance of genomic stability. The breaks in double-stranded DNA represent a great threat to the cells.

There are two mechanisms to repair the double-stranded breaks in the DNA—homologous and nonhomologous end joining.
