Imagine a cell with a mutation that prevented
DNA Polymerases from
functioning during all
phases of the cell cycle
OTHER than the S Phase.
(That means they can work
during the Sphase, and
ONLY the S-phase.) How
would this ultimately affect
the cell in the long run, and
what potential
consequences could occur
in this cell or its daughter
cells?

an adaptation is a change or process by which an organism takes to be better suited for its environment. for example; migration is a behavioral adaptation, this is needed because birds are not built to last extremely cold climates. there are different adaptations because there are different species needing to adjust to different things, bears don't migrate; they hibernate.
