Which event causes increased DNA mutation risk during ultraviolet exposure?

💡 Explanation

Pyrimidine dimers form when UV light promotes covalent bonds between adjacent pyrimidine bases. Replication stalls during cell division because DNA polymerase cannot efficiently bypass the dimer, therefore miscoding risk is increased rather than hydrolysis or other pathways.
