A patient with a rare genetic disorder has an increased risk of developing cancer due to a specific molecular structure in their DNA. What process is responsible for the energy required to break this structure during DNA repair?
Q1. A patient with a rare genetic disorder has an increased risk of developing cancer due to a specific molecular structure in their DNA. What process is responsible for the energy required to break this structure during DNA repair?
Answer: Excitation of electrons
Explanation: Correct: Excitation of electrons provides the energy required for DNA repair. Tempting option C fails because it relies on electron excitation, not nuclear reactions like spontaneous fission or proton-proton collision, which are unrelated.
