Which of the following is not involved in ensuring the accuracy of a cell's genetic information?
A) redundancy
B) repair enzymes
C) precision of replication machinery
D) DNA polymerase proofreading mechanism
E) transformation

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transformation is not involved in ensuring the accuracy of a cell's genetic information. Redundancy, repair enzymes, precision of replication machinery, and DNA polymerase proofreading mechanism all play important roles in ensuring accurate replication and transmission of genetic information. However, transformation refers to the uptake of DNA from the environment by a bacterial cell, and is not directly related to maintaining the accuracy of the cell's existing genetic information.
