Dr. Bert Vogelstein and his partners study the causes of cancer. In 2017, they published a study of 32 types of cancer. The study concluded that most cancer cases are caused by DNA replication errors. In fact, 66% of the cancer cases they studied were caused by random DNA replication errors. Environmental factors such as diet, sunburns, and smoking caused 29% of the cancers. The last 5% of cancers in the study were caused by inherited factors. What happens as a result of DNA replication?

A blueprint is transferred from the nucleus to the ribosome.
B. mRNA encodes a message from DNA.
C. A chromosome with two identical DNA strands is formed.
D. A protein is formed.
