Please help to check if the following DNA repair description is correct. if not, please help to correct. thanks!!

1. Base Excision Repair

DNA plycosylase comes in and removes deaminated C Uracil. AP endonuclease recognizes the missing tooth created by DNA glysosylase and it removes the sugar while phosphodiesterase removes phosphate group leaving DNA helix with single nucleotide gap. DNA polymerase add new nucleotide and DNA ligase seals the nick

2. Nucleotide Excision Repair

NER uses to remove large mutation. Excision nuclease comes in and cut the pyrimidine primers in a big chunk. DNA helicase removes the big chunk. DNA polymeraze synthesize nucleotides and DNA ligase seals the nick.

3. Nonhomologous end joining

The overhangs ends is recognized by Ku heterodimers and they attach to the broken chromosomes end. Additional proteins attach and join covalently. Overhangs are then digested and ligase seals the nicks

4. The repair involves sister chromatids. One of the sister chromatids has double strand breaks. Exonuclease activity degrades the 5’ end. The strand invasion begins by crossing over.

D. Replication forks move away from the origin in one direction

E. Nucleases, polymerases and ligases replace RNA primers with DNA and seal the remaining nick

4. A DNA polymerase cannot synthesize a DNA strand de novo (from the beginning) from a mixture of dNTPs. Which of the following explains the role of the primer in the reaction promoted by this enzyme?

A. 5'-3' exonuclease function.
