Can Nucleotide Mutations Be Repaired?

The body has several mechanisms to repair nucleotide mutations:
Mismatch Repair: Corrects errors that escape proofreading during DNA replication.
Base Excision Repair: Removes and replaces damaged bases.
Nucleotide Excision Repair: Removes bulky DNA lesions caused by UV light or other factors.
