This question focuses on DNA damage from nuclear radiation. Review the following hypothetical scenario and respond accordingly. Scenario: You are a researcher investigating the effects of the 2011 Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant disaster on marine clams near the disaster site. Part of your role as a scientist involves community outreach, for which you have been asked to prepare information about the biological impacts of nuclear radiation. Craft an essay response that incorporates the following detailed prompts: A. In the area of a nuclear disaster, damage to DNA can be caused by ionizing radiation. DESCRIBE what kind of DNA damage would likely be sustain by marine clams in the disaster zone and what this damage can lead to? B. EXPLAIN how cell cycle checkpoints can help protect against harmful mutations. DISCUSS the DNA damage checkpoint in detail, include when in the cell cycle it occurs, the molecules that are involved and their roles, such as p53, cyclin, protein kinases, etc. C. ANSWER under what circumstances would mutations resulting from DNA damage be passed to the next generation of the clams you are studying? D. What kinds of inherited mutations would be likely to remain in the clam population 200 years from now?
