How do cells correct errors in dna that would disrupt their function?

enzymes use the surrounding sections of the dna to determine the correct structure; then they repair the errors by replacing atoms in the existing molecule.

enzymes cut out the erroneous part and then use the complementary dna on the intact strand to add the correct nucleotides.

enzymes use rna that was made before the damage occurred to make a new double strand of dna to insert into the molecule.

the erroneous part has weaker bonds to the dna molecule, so it falls off, and the proper nucleotides are attracted to the gap to repair the damage

The construction of phylogenetic trees is a mapping out the proposed divisions and common ancestors of all living species. traditionally, these trees have been built using morphological data, such as appearance and embryology. recently, it has been possible to construct these trees using molecular data. phylogenetic trees based on different types of information agree with each: that there is strong evidence of a real underlying common descent. this phylogenic tree is composed based on molecular data (rrna). what statements can we infer are true about the organisms throughout the tree? because the tree is rooted, all branches share a common ancestor. all organisms have some sort of cellular structure/organization. all eukaryotes evolved from bacteria. since the organisms contain rna, they share the same dna. if the organisms contain rna, the share the same four nitrogen bases.
