Answer #1

Answer 3)

There is found methylation at the parental strand. That's why the parental strand is recognised from the newly synthesized strand on the basis of the methylation. This methylation is done by methylases enzyme. That's why the parental or old strand is protected from the action of repairing mechanism.

And in newly synthesized strand, this methylation is not found. And the repairing enzym can work on this strand and cure the mutation if found in this strand.
