<prompt> All are true about nucleotide excision repair except ?Removal of damaged bases occurs only on one strand of the DNAIt removes thymine dimmers generated by uv lightRequires ligase and polymeraseOnly the damaged nucleotide are removed  <response>: Cuts are made several nucleotide on either side of the damaged base. The intact strand acts as a template strand for the repair. Many lesions are removed by this nucleotide excision repair.Ultraviolet induced thymine dimmers are only one example of such lesions. To fill the gap, polymerase and ligase activity is required.
