During replication a DNA polymerase slips backward then resumes replication.Which replication error is likely to occur as a result?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When DNA polymerase slips backward, it can lead to an insertion of one or more bases, which can cause a frameshift mutation. A frameshift mutation can have significant effects on the protein's resulting amino acid sequence. Therefore, choice D, which suggests the insertion of one or more bases, is the most likely replication error to result from this event.
