Answer:

Errors during Replication. DNA replication is a highly accurate process, but mistakes can occasionally occur as when a DNA polymerase inserts a wrong base. Uncorrected mistakes may sometimes lead to serious consequences, such as cancer. Mutations: In this interactive, you can “edit” a DNA strand and cause a mutation.
