Why is it more important to check for errors during DNA replication than during translation?
A. Proteins form without the use of any kind of genetic code.
B. An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of
cells.
C. Errors in translation would affect many generations of proteins.
D. A protein can function normally even with the wrong amino acids.

It is more important to check for errors during DNA replication than during translation - B. An error in DNA replication would affect many generations of cells.

DNA Replication Errors Become Mutations.Incorrectly paired nucleotides are an error and if not checked or still remain following mismatch repair become permanent mutations after the next cell division. if such errors of DNA replication are established, the cell no longer recognizes them as errors.it will affect many generations of the cell whereas if an error occurs during translation it will affect only one cell or protein.
