Answer #1

True

The replication carried out by DNA polymerases is highly accurate. This low error rate is reached by the proofreading activity of DNA polymerases which removes a mismatched nucleotide that is wrongly incorporated by the enzyme. In addition, post replication DNA repair enzymes removes the mismatches (and incorporates the correct one) that are incorporated during replication.
