Sometimes, chemical damage to DNA can occur just before DNA replication begins, not giving the repair system enough time to correct the error before the DNA is duplicated. This gives rise to mutation.

Sometimes, chemical damage to DNA can occur just before DNA replication begins, not giving the repair system enough time to correct the error before the DNA is duplicated. This gives rise to mutation.

Answer:

TTAT

Step-by-step explanation:

Deamination is a reaction that causes mutations in DNA, with the release of ammonia. Deamination may convert cytosines into uracils. These mutations caused by deamination of cytosine are recognized by specific endonucleases that repair these modifications by replacement with cytosine
