Which DNA repair pathway deals with DNA damage that causes distortion? Mismatch repair Base excision repair Nucleotide excision repair Non-homologous end joining QUESTION 5 For homologous recombination to occur: Broken ends are fused together The cell must duplicate Cell needs a similar copy of undamaged DNA Base excision repair takes place
