DNA repair enzymes preferentially repair mismatched bases on the newly synthesized DNA
Chapter 0, Problem 5-7(choose chapter or problem)
DNA repair enzymes preferentially repair mismatched bases on the newly synthesized DNA strand, using the old DNA strand as a template. If mismatches were instead repaired without regard for which strand served as template, would mismatch repair reduce replication errors? Would such a mismatch repair system result in fewer mutations, more mutations, or the same number of mutations as there would have been without any repair at all? Explain your answers.
