Özet
Copper is essential to living organisms, but at elevated concentrations, copper may become toxic for living systems. During this research the effects of copper were evaluated at molecular levels in a marine green algae Ulva lactuca. In addition, the protection role of polyamines against DNA mutations and strand breaks against the copper treatment searched by RAPD-PCR analysis. The main changes observed in the RADP profiles have been resulted both in appearance or disappearance of different bands and variation of their intensity.
