Question

why is it important for a cell to perform checks after DNA replication

A. if errors are not removed from areas within a gene, then the resulting lipids could be affected.

B. if errors are not removed from areas within a gene, then the resulting proteins could be affected.

C. errors in DNA replication that occur in any cell type will be passed to the offspring.

D. errors in DNA replication that occur in any cell type will always result in death of a cell.

Answer 1

The answer should be B - If errors are not removed from areas within a gene, then the resulting proteins could be affected.

Choice D is just flat out wrong, Choice C is incorrect as errors in body cells are not passed to offspring, only errors in gametes, and Choice A is wrong because Lipids are not affected by genes. Hope this helped!
