How does recombinational repair differ from nucleotide excision repair (NER)?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology
  1. Unlike NER, recombinational repair is unable to repair damage caused by thymine dimers.

  2. NER replaces the thymine dimmer while recombinational repair leaves it in place.

  3. NER requires DNA polymerase and ligase function, while recombinational repair does not.

  4. NER involves nick translation, which recombinational repair does not.
