Question

a mutation occurs in a gene coding for an enzyme involved in dna replication. how might this mutation affect the process and the resulting cells? (dok 3) it could cause errors during replication, potentially leading to mutations in daughter cells the mutation will have no effect because other enzymes can compensate it may cause the enzyme to work faster, speeding up replication without errors it will only affect protein synthesis, not dna replication

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Enzymes are crucial for DNA replication. A mutation in a gene coding for such an enzyme can disrupt the normal replication process. While there are multiple enzymes involved, not all can fully compensate for a defective one. Faster - working is not a typical outcome of a mutation in this context, and it directly affects DNA replication rather than just protein synthesis. Errors during replication can lead to mutations in daughter cells.

Answer:

It could cause errors during replication, potentially leading to mutations in daughter cells
