Mutations in RAD Genes Causeــــــــــــــــــــــ

Question

Mutations in RAD genes causeــــــــــــــــــــــ .
A)recombination to occur randomly
B)radiation sensitivity
C)excessive recombination events during meiosis
D)a decline in gamete production

Accepted Answer

RAD genes are involved in DNA repair processes, particularly in response to radiation damage. Mutations in these genes can lead to increased sensitivity to radiation because the cell's ability to repair DNA damage caused by radiation is compromised.
