In eukaryotic cells‚ replication may begin at dozens or even hundreds of places on the DNA molecule‚ proceeding in both directions until each chromosome is completely copied. Although a number of proteins check DNA for chemical damage or base pair mismatches prior to replication‚ the system is not foolproof. Damaged regions of DNA are sometimes replicated‚ resulting in changes to DNA base sequences that may alter certain
