∙ 14y agoYes, but error rates are very low. Usually about 1 in 100,000 nucleotides or better. Errors occur more when there are long sections of matching nucleotides called repeats. The polymerase can "hiccup" and read a nucleotide again or skip over it. There are enzymes that check for correct sequences as well. They are either part of the polymerase complex or come along and look to make sure the new and old match.

∙ 13y agoOne error occurs for every billion paired nucleotides added.

∙ 11y agoThey occur about 1 in every 300,000 people so about .0001 chance

∙ 12y agoYes errors can occur especially if splicing is involved. Mutations in DNA also happen during cell division (both meiosis and mitosis).

Where does DNA replicated occur in eukaryotes?
in the nucleus
When will DNA be replicated?
:Before the cell divition cell needs to double its genetic meterial then the DNA is replicated.;
What will happen during DNA replication?
You DNA will be replicated
WHEN ARE CHROMOSOME (DNA) REPLICATED?
Interphase is when DNA replication occurs. :)
When is DNA duplicated and why is DNA duplicated?
DNA is replicated in the process called Mitosis and Meosis. DNA is replicated to make more cells. Your body will make cells if you have a cut, grow, etc..
Where does DNA replicated occur in eukaryotes?
in the nucleus
Do most mutations occur when DNA is being replicated?
yes
Does DNA replication occur before the cell divides?
the DNA poly-meres must add complementary nucleotides to the DNA
Is the enzyme that allows replication to occur DNA polymerase or RNA polymerase?
DNA polymerase replicated DNA. RNA polymerase creates mRNA to be used in protein synthesis. RNA polymerase does not replicated DNA.
Name 2 errors that can occur during meiosis?
They include: incorrect copying of the DNA sequence when the DNA is replicated before division, and errors during recombination. If an error occurs in a sperm or an egg, the individual created from that gamete will have the change in every cell of their body.
What phase is DNA replicated in?
DNA is replicated in the S phase of Interphase
What are the phases when a cell's DNA is replicated?
The cell's DNA is replicated during interphase.
Why DNA have to replicated before cell division?
DNA replication must occur before cell division to make sure that the daughter cells are genetically identical.
What is before DNA?
What is DNA replicated before?
When will DNA be replicated?
:Before the cell divition cell needs to double its genetic meterial then the DNA is replicated.;
Mutations occur because of?
errors in DNA replication
DNA is replicated where.?
interphase
