Suppose that a mistake made during DNA replication in a cell is not corrected, but instead the mutation remains in the single strand where it occurred. Then suppose that after the cell divides, both daughter cells survive, and those cells then go on to have DNA replication, and ultimately cell division. Four cells now exist where there once was one cell. Assume that the mistake was never corrected and that no other mistakes occurred. How many of the four cells will have the mutation in their DNA?

a. three b. two c. one d. none
