Cancer is the most common pathological result of DNA damage

Explanation:

DNA damage refers to a change in the basic structure of DNA due to natural or environmental factors. DNA damage results in changes in the structure of genes as well as altering the replication machinery of DNA. DNA damage may occur as a break in a DNA strand, deletion of a base of DNA, or an altered DNA base as in  8-hydroxydeoxyguanosine (8-OHdG), a common marker for oxidative DNA damage.

When these damages to DNA occur, DNA repair proteins are activated to repair the damaged DNA or in some severe cases, self-destruct. However, when these DNA damages are such that these cells lose the ability to follow the instructions of the replication machinery, the cells proliferate without control resulting in the development of various forms of cancers.

step 1 ammonium can be absorbed by plants, but some is converted into nitrates which are better for plants to absorb. this is called nitrification. 2. step 2 the deer eats the plants and uses the nitrogen-containing proteins for cell growth. 3. step 3 bacteria in the soil conduct nitrogen fixation to convert nitrogen gas from the atmosphere into ammonium. 4. step 4 some of the nitrates are absorbed back into plants, but denitrification breaks down the nitrates into nitrogen gas released back into the atmosphere. 5. step 5 nitrogen is found in the urine, which gets broken down into ammonium through the process of ammonification. 6. step 6 plants absorb the ammonium and begin assimilation, the process to add the nitrogen to protein.
