Solution
The incorrect statement is: "Promotors cause mutations in DNA."
Explanation:
-
"Damaged DNA is usually repaired by cells." - This is correct. Cells have mechanisms to repair damaged DNA.
-
"Mutations are more likely to occur in rapidly dividing cells." - This is also correct. The process of DNA replication can introduce errors, especially in cells that are dividing rapidly.
-
"Cells with damaged
