Concept #1: Introduction to DNA Repair

Practice: Based on the map above, if the cell needed to repair a nucleotide mismatch mutation, which form of repair could it use?

Practice: Based on the map above, if one of the bases in a strand of DNA is damaged and needs to be replaced, what mechanism will the cell use to repair the DNA?
