A research team discovers a mutation in the gene encoding a cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk) that allows it to be constitutively active without cyclin binding. Additionally, this cell line has a nonfunctional p53 protein due to a separate mutation. During DNA replication in S phase, multiple errors occur due to exposure to UV radiation. Which of the following outcomes is most likely?

During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized co…

During DNA replication, the leading strand is synthesized continuously while the lagging strand is synthesized in Okazaki fragments. A mutation occurs in the gene encoding DNA ligase, reducing its activity by 90%. Additionally, primase function is slowed due to a chemical inhibitor. Which of the following best describes the expected consequences for DNA replication?
