Answer:

It can cause a mutation in the replication process/final result. In addition, errors can only be fixed during DNA replication and not transcription or translation, but sometimes they aren't caught.

Answer:

Mutation

Step-by-step explanation:

If an error occurs during the replication, it is called a mutation. Mutations can benefit, have no effect on, or damage the organism. Mutations are permanent once they occur.
