Answer

Repair the DNA

Meanwhile DNA construction, maximum DNA polymerases "review their performance," getting the bulk of mis-paired bases in a method called proofreading. Shortly after DNA synthesis, any left mis-paired bases can be identified and substituted in a procedure called mismatch repair. If DNA gets destroyed, it can be fixed by different mechanisms, including chemical repeal, excision restoration, and double-stranded break repair.
