Nothing too horrible will occur if RNA or proteins are messed up. Likely the protein will have no biological function. However, if there is a mistake in DNA, then cell death or even cancer can occur.

Crud. I wish I knew too. I can't find the answer. Alas, I plow on through the minefield of biological websites.

Why is it more important to check for errors during DNA replication than during translation?

(APEX) An error in translation affects only one cell. Hope this helps ;)


Why is it more important to check for Error during DNA replication and then during protein synthesis?

Because during replication a new copy of the DNA is made form which proteins will eventually be synthesized. Replication copies the mistake, synthesis merely empresses it.


The substitution of one base for another during DNA replication is an example of?

Mutation occurs where one DNA nucleotide base is changed in the process of DNA replication. These mutations may or may not cause genetic disorders or other observable changes in the organism, but they play a huge role in evolution, cancer, and immune system development.


Why are transcription and translation two separate but necessary steps for protein synthesis?

The three types of RNA are all needed to perform protein synthesis.mRNA is needed to bring the code that is needed to be translated. Once transcribed within the nucleus, it moves out to the cytoplasm to be translated.tRNA is needed to bring the anticodon and amino acid to be combined to form proteins. It attaches to the codon on the mRNA.rRNA, combined with proteins forms the two parts of the ribosomes, which is where the tRNA and mRNA attach to begin translation.


What happens if the DNA polymerase makes a mistake?

The answer to this question is simple. A mutation would occur. Believe it or not, mutations occur in your body all the time. Even so, most mutations are harmless, because 97% of DNA is absolutely useless, and does nothing in your body.

Why is DNA replication semi-conserbribe?

I think there is a mistake in the question. The DNA replication is said to be semi-conservative because during DNA replication one stand will be parental and the other will be newly formed. This happens due to the complimentary base pairing.

What are the purposes of replication software?

Replication software is important so you can back up information that, in the case of a mistake it is deleted. You can find Replication Software at Best Buy.
