Answer:

The correct answer is B. Mismatch repair

Explanation:

Mismatch repair pathway recognizes the mismatched base pair that incorporated during DNA replication and then excise that incorrect base. After excision, it repairs the DNA.

The mismatched daughter strand is distinguished from the parent strand by mismatch repair system as the parent strand is methylated at some bases but the daughter strand is not methylated.  

Three proteins help in mismatch repair MutH, MutL, MutS. Mut H and Mut S recognize the mismatch, Mut H excise the unmethylated strand from 5' side. Then helicase and exonuclease enzymes clave the segment from cleavage site to beyond the mismatch base.  

The gap created by this action is filled by DNA polymerase and sealed by enzyme DNA ligase.

Ostrovityanka [42]
<span>The "stress hormones" that were released by Benita's adrenal glands would likely be epinephrine and norepinephrine. Some studies have shown that something as simple as laughter can lower the level of stress hormones in most people. Since severe stress can lead to other health problems, it is important to get help from a medical professional to bring your stress level under control.</span>

Compare and contrast populations and communities
zloy xaker [14]
A population is essentially just a collection of all living things in one category. People are one population, insects are another, etc. Communities are "more organized" populations. Soccer players hang out with soccer players, spiders hang out with spiders. We split into "our people" within our population. 

I know that may be a little confusing, but if you have anymore questions feel free to ask. I hope I was able to help. Best of luck!
