,2. With reference to DNA repair, which of the following is false?
a. Crosslinking of bases on opposite DNA strands is especially
problematic for cells because it presents and obstacle to DNA

b. Double strand DNA breaks are a challenge for cells because if

transcription and the RNA polymerase is stalled
d. Repair of double stranded DNA breaks is easier in cells prior to
DNA replication than after DNA replication has occurred
d. Repair of double stranded DNA breaks is easier in cells prior to
DNA replication than after DNA replication has occurred
