Verified answer
An error in transcription/translation affects only one cell.
An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.

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

the errors made during the replication can be transmitted to the next generation of cells and will subsequently be a part of the genetic information inherited by these cells. but the error made during translation lead to the creation of a single abnormal molecule of protein that will not be harmful knowing that millions of normal protein molecules are translated at each moment of the cell life.

∙ 11y agoReplication is the " faithful " copying of the cells total genetic information and must be as correct as possible for the preservation of important genes.
Translation is the coding of RNA to transcribe protein. If this process has an error all you get is a miss folded and useless protein, excepting beneficial mutation. So, the signal transducing this protein production just fires again and this time, statistically, the protein is made properly.

∙ 9y agoErrors in translation affect only the protein product and only for that mRNA. Good protein can be made at the next translation event with new mRNA. Errors in replication affect the future cells and all of their daughter cells, keeping the mistake for the life of the cells, assuming there is no apoptosis from it. The mistake is then permanent, and more mistakes can be made from it, and all proteins made, if it is a gene coding region, will be erroneous. Mistakes made in replication can cause cancers and other cell growth problems. Problems are especially prevalent if the mistake is downstream from an active promotor like you would find for a growth factor gene.

How does polymerase prevent mutations?
It checks DNA for errors during replication.
Why it is important the DNA replicates exactly?
It is important that the DNA is copied exactly during replication because any errors in replication can cause mutations. For example, even one incorrect base can result in an enzyme becoming inactive. These mutations can be lethal or have severe consequences on the organism's health.
Why is it more important to check for errors during DNA replications than during protein synthesis?
Because if an error is made during protein synthesis, the result is at worst one bad protein. If an error is made during DNA replication, that error will persist for the entire lifespan of that cell and be inherited by every daughter cell it produces. Should the error prove deleterious, the effects can be catastrophic for the cell or the organism. For example, if an error occurs in a protein coding segment of DNA, it is possible that every protein that locus generates will now be defective.
How errors in DNA replication are fixed?
Mismatch repair ... nucleotide excision repair
What patrols DNA looking for errors?
DNA replication and repair proof-reading check for errors in DNA.
Why is it is more important for DNA replication to be exact than for transcription or translation to be exact?
It is more important for DNA replication to be exact than for transcription or translation to be exact because replication products the master copy. Translation and transcription contains many possible codes that can correct for errors.
