Question

what kind of mechanisms does the body have to stop mutations from occurring? repairing and proofreading mechanisms viral infection and cell death mitosis and meiosis

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The body has mechanisms to stop mutations. Repairing mechanisms fix damaged DNA. Proofreading during DNA replication (like by DNA polymerase checking and correcting errors) also helps prevent mutations. Viral infection is a cause of mutations rather than a prevention mechanism. Cell death (apoptosis) can occur if a cell has too many mutations but it's more of a response after mutations. Mitosis and meiosis are cell - division processes, not mutation - prevention mechanisms.

Answer:

repairing and proofreading mechanisms
