Incorporation of an incorrect nucleotide in a molecule of DNA results in a distortion of the DNA helix that can be detected by repair enzymes. True false question. True False
Added by Stephen C.
Step 1
However, sometimes errors can occur during replication, leading to the incorporation of an incorrect nucleotide. Repair enzymes, such as DNA polymerase proofreading activity and mismatch repair proteins, can detect and correct these errors. They can recognize Show more…
