A photon of ultraviolet light hits double-stranded DNA and creates a covalent cross-link between adjacent thymines in the same strand (a thymine dimer). What is likely to happen?
a-The DNA strand with the thymine dimer will not be able to be replicated.
b-The cell will die.
c-The DNA strand will replicate, but the daughter strand will carry an adenine dimer.
d-The cell will divide, but the daughter cells will be mutant.
e-The thymine dimer will be repaired by enzymes that break the cross-link.
