Can Mutations be Repaired?

Yes, organisms have mechanisms to repair mutations:
Mismatch repair: Corrects errors made during DNA replication.
Base excision repair: Removes and replaces damaged bases.
Nucleotide excision repair: Removes a segment of the DNA strand that contains the mutation and replaces it.
