Damage when encountered during replication

Reference no: EM13533555

Pyrimidine dimers cannot be copied by the normal action of DNA polymerases, so DNA replication would stop when the polymerase encounters one of these dimers. What mechanism have cells developed to deal with this damage when encountered during replication
