Question

why is it more important to check for errors during dna replication than during translation? a. errors in translation would affect many generations of proteins. b. a protein can function normally even with the wrong amino acids. c. proteins form without the use of any kind of genetic code. d. an error in dna replication would affect many generations of cells.

Explanation:

DNA is the genetic material passed on to daughter - cells during cell division. Errors in DNA replication will be present in the DNA of subsequent cell generations, potentially affecting many cellular functions over time. Translation is the process of making proteins from mRNA, and errors in translation usually affect only the individual protein being synthesized at that time and not multiple cell generations.

Answer:

D. An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.
