asked Feb 7, 2022 in Genetic Engineering by Charlotte (118k points)

What is the function of ung gene?

(a) It is responsible for deamination of cytosine

(b) It is responsible for deamination of uracil

(c) It is responsible for removal of uracil

(d) It is responsible for removal of cytosine

The question was posed to me by my school principal while I was bunking the class.

I want to ask this question from Mutagenesis using PCR and Recovery of Mutated Sequences in division Modifications and Mutagenesis of Genetic Engineering

Best answer

Right option is (c) It is responsible for removal of uracil

Explanation: Ung gene is responsible for the removal of uracil. It does it by the enzyme Uracil-N-glycosylase and apyrimidinic site is created.
