A) mutation.
B) replication.
C) repair protein.
D) insertion.

Accepted Answer

A permanent change in the DNA base sequence due to an uncorrected mismatch error is called a mutation. Replication is the process of copying DNA, repair proteins are involved in fixing errors in DNA, and insertion is a type of mutation where an extra nucleotide is inserted into the DNA sequence.
