replication

Explanation:

Spontaneous or induced injuries can result in mutations and mutations can cause a number of harmful consequences to cells and organisms. When the error occurs in DNA replication, the result is a change in the nitrogenadam base causing a mutation. An example of this is the BRCA1 mutation, where an error in DNA replication caused a change in a single guanine-based nucleotide (G) to a thymine-based nucleotide (T)
