Which of the following is the most error-prone of the repair mechanisms?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

SOS repair is the most error-prone of the repair mechanisms because it activates error-prone DNA polymerases that are more likely to introduce mutations during replication. This repair mechanism is only activated in cases of severe DNA damage, and its goal is to allow the continuation of replication even in the presence of DNA lesions, even if it means that errors will be introduced. Postreplication repair, recombination repair, and photoreactivation are all able to accurately repair DNA lesions without introducing many errors.
