Answer #1

Correct option is : • (E) Mismatch repair : recognize a DNA mismatch distortion in the DNA

[ Mismatch repair happens right after new DNA has been made, and its job is to remove and replace mis-paired bases (ones that were not fixed during proofreading). Mismatch repair can also detect and correct small insertions and deletions that happen when the polymerases "slips," losing its footing on the template.]
