I believe the answer is Specific repair systems. These types of repairs target a single kind of lesion or damage and repair only that damage.DNA repair is a collection of processes by which a cell identifies and corrects damage to the DNA molecule that encodes its genome. DNA damage may result from both metabolic activities and environmental factors such as radiation.
