The correct answer will be : would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer.
Explanation:
DNA replication is a complex process to make exact copy of the DNA.
Errors which occur during the process of replication caused by mis-pairing of base pair or by addition or deletion of nucleotides can become permanent mutations after the next cell division as DNA replication takes place during S-phase of cell division and once established cell no longer recognize them as error. These accumulated permanent errors or mutation can produce tumors causing cancer in organisms.
Translation is a process involved in the synthesis of proteins from intermediate mRNA within cell which is a functional part of gene expression not cell division.
Thus, would lead to permanent mutation in DNA and cause cancer is the correct answer.
Biogeochemical cycles are important because they regulate the elements necessary for life on earth by cycling them through biological and physical aspects of the word.
