In the mismatch repair process, enzyme complexes replace bases that were incorrectly inserted into the newly synthesized DNA strand. To function, they must be able to distinguish between the parent DNA strand and the new strand. How is this accomplished?

Answer:

The repair of DNA damaged is important to prevent individual from mutation and other health related problems. The damage in the DNA can occur naturally during replication or may caused by the agents like harmful rays.

Different enzymes and proteins are involved in the DNA repair mismatch system. The parent strand and daughter DNA strand can be distinguished by looking at the methylated strand. The parental strand is always methylated where as the daughter strand is non methylated.
