The general excision repair pathway for DNA repair has the following order:

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The general excision repair pathway begins with an endonuclease enzyme cutting the damaged DNA strand. Then, a helicase or endonuclease enzyme removes the damaged segment of DNA. Next, DNA polymerase repairs the gap by adding new nucleotides to the remaining strand. Finally, DNA ligase seals the repaired strand by creating a covalent bond between adjacent nucleotides, completing the repair process. Thus, option A - endonuclease cuts → helicase or endonuclease removes → DNA polymerase → DNA ligase - represents the correct order of the general excision repair pathway.
