Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Expert-Verified Answer. The initial formulated with the incorrect replication of the DNA results in the incorrect protein synthesis.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA replication errors, especially those occurring at regions that are hard to replicate, called fragile sites, can cause breaks in DNA. This can lead to cancer, primarily by making it more likely that fragments of chromosomes rearrange themselves, activating genes that lead to uncontrollable cell division.
Detailed explanation-3: -What would be the result of a mistake in protein synthesis that resulted in a defective DNA polymerase molecule? New nucleotides would not be added to the separated parent strands.
