Question

The mismatch repair system recognizes mismatched base pairs, removes a portion of the DNA strand containing the error, and then resynthesizes the missing DNA using the correct sequence as a template.

Answer 1

This is the result of frameshift mutations

Step-by-step explanation:

Frameshift mutations are genetic mutations that cause nucleotide changes in the frameshift sequence via insertions and deletions, which are collectively named indels
