Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

What is the primary function of mismatch repair?
  • Step 1: Understand that DNA is made up of building blocks called bases.
  • Step 2: Know that during DNA replication, these bases need to pair correctly (A with T, and C with G).
  • Step 3: Realize that sometimes, mistakes happen and the wrong bases pair together.
  • Step 4: Mismatch repair is a process that identifies these incorrect base pairs.
  • Step 5: The mismatch repair system then removes the incorrect base and replaces it with the correct one.
  • Step 6: This helps ensure that the DNA is copied accurately, maintaining genetic information.
