What happens when a nucleotide pairs with the wrong nitrogen base?
a) A single nucleotide error is not a problem, so the cell does not have a process to change it. It is simply left in place.
b) Okazaki fragments are formed and inserted to make the correction.
c) DNA polymerase pauses the process of DNA replication and initiates a series of steps to correct the problem.
d) Primase sets down an RNA primer that initiates a sequence of events to correct the error.
