Prerequisites

What you need to understand first.

  • Mechanism L3 (requires)
    Base excision repair is a DNA repair mechanism that corrects damage to individual nucleotide bases by removing and replacing them with undamaged bases, thereby preventing mutations.
  • Genetics L8 (requires)
    Base excision repair is a DNA repair pathway removing damaged or abnormal bases before they cause mutations.
  • Mutation L8 (required) Biology sense
    Understanding base-excision-repair requires knowledge of mutation.
