DNA Replicаtiоn Fidelity Study Reseаrchers investigаted the relatiоnship between DNA replicatiоn accuracy and cancer development. They examined three groups of cells: Group A: Normal cells with fully functional DNA polymerase proofreading, mismatch repair, and nucleotide excision repair Group B: Cells with a mutation that reduces DNA polymerase proofreading efficiency by 80% Group C: Cells with mutations in both DNA polymerase proofreading and the p53 tumor suppressor gene The cells were grown for 50 generations and analyzed for mutation accumulation and cell cycle progression. During S phase, DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the 3' end of the growing strand, synthesizing the leading strand continuously and the lagging strand in Okazaki fragments. Proofreading occurs when DNA polymerase detects mismatched base pairs and uses its 3' to 5' exonuclease activity to remove incorrect nucleotides. prolif.jpg Based on the passage and data, which statement best explains why Group C showed both the highest mutation rate AND continued proliferation despite DNA damage?
