Question

Organisms without exonuclease activity would replicate somewhat faster than other organisms, since time would not be spent checking newly synthesized DNA and excising mismatched bases. The mutation rate would also be higher true or false

Answer 1

This is true that The mutation rate would also be higher.

What is mutation?

A mutation is a change in the nucleic acid sequence of an organism's, virus's, or extrachromosomal DNA's genome. DNA or RNA can be found in the viral genome.

Environmental elements known as mutagens are what trigger mutations. Radiation, chemicals, and pathogenic agents are examples of mutagens. Mutations may occur naturally spontaneously.

Because it generates a new DNA sequence for a particular gene, the mutation is crucial in the initial stage of evolution because it results in the creation of a new allele. Through intragenic recombination, recombination can also produce a new DNA sequence (a new allele) for a particular gene.
