Briefly review Section 13.3. Now suppose that DNA polymerase made a wrong base pairing while a crucial gene region of DNA was being replicated. DNA repair mechanisms did not kick in to fix the mistake. Here is the part of the DNA strand that contains the error: 11eb7c03_41c1_adf1_a224_3fd0dcb603e1_SM1156_00 After the DNA molecule is replicated, two daughter cells form. One daughter cell is carrying the mutation and the other cell is normal. Develop a hypothesis to explain this observation.

Exercise 3

Briefly review Section 13.3. Now suppose that DNA polymerase made a wrong base pairing while a crucial gene region of DNA was being replicated. DNA repair mechanisms did not kick in to fix the mistake. Here is the part of the DNA strand that contains the error:

After the DNA molecule is replicated, two daughter cells form. One daughter cell is carrying the mutation and the other cell is normal. Develop a hypothesis to explain this observation.
