III only. Mutations in DNA are most likely to occur during replication.
Key Takeaway: The replication of DNA is a very error prone process. While there are numerous proofreading and error-checking processes built into replication, unwanted mutations do occur. While mutations do affect the efficiency of transcription and translation, they are unlikely to occur during either process.
