Respuesta :
An error in transcription/translation affects only one cell.
An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.
Answer:
The correct answer will be : would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer.
Explanation:
DNA replication is a complex process to make exact copy of the DNA.
Errors which occur during the process of replication caused by mis-pairing of base pair or by addition or deletion of nucleotides can become permanent mutations after the next cell division as DNA replication takes place during S-phase of cell division and once established cell no longer recognize them as error. These accumulated permanent errors or mutation can produce tumors causing cancer in organisms.
Translation is a process involved in the synthesis of proteins from intermediate mRNA within cell which is a functional part of gene expression not cell division.
Thus, would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer is the correct answer.
