No. Although many proteins check the DNA for damage or errors, damaged regions
can still be replicated. This may result in gene alterations and serious complications
for the organism.

∙ 12y agoYes, this mechanism is fool-proof due to the proofreading and error checking process, which makes sure there are minimum errors.
2nd Answer:
DNA replication in the body is not foolproof. There are a number of birth defects that can occur from 'mistakes'. An example is Down syndrome. Many of these mistakes occur, but since the body will work OK with a large range of different genetic conditions, a mistake is usually never even noticed.

DNA is copied during a process called?
Replication.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
Inhibitors of DNA replication?
Inhibitors of DNA replication are bacteria or toxins that inhibit the replication of DNA. E-Coli is an example of an inhibitor of DNA replication.
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.
Compare the number of replication forks in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA during replication?
Prokaryotic DNA is reproduced with DNA Polymerases replication forks.
DNA is copied during a process called?
Replication.
What are the areas on DNA where replication occurs called?
DNA replication begins in areas of DNA molecules are called origins of replication.
Is it DNA Copying or DNA Replication?
replication
Inhibitors of DNA replication?
Inhibitors of DNA replication are bacteria or toxins that inhibit the replication of DNA. E-Coli is an example of an inhibitor of DNA replication.
During DNA replication what?
DNA replication produces two copies of the DNA.
What is it called when a cell duplicates its DNA?
DNA replication
What does DNA replication make?
DNA replication produces a copy of the DNA. At the same time the cell in which the DNA is to be found splits into two with a copy of the DNA in each. DNA replication is caused by cell replication during the process of mitosis.
What is the site of DNA replication in eukaryotes?
DNA replication occurs in living cells. The name of the sites where DNA replication occurs is called the origins of replication.
What process makes a copy of a DNA molecule?
Transcription.
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.
What is it called when a DNA copies itself?
DNA replication
Compare the number of replication forks in prokaryotic and eukaryotic DNA during replication?
Prokaryotic DNA is reproduced with DNA Polymerases replication forks.
