While many body cells only replicate 40 to 60 times, cells that produce certain white blood cells may replicate many more times. It is, therefore, crucial that proofreading and repair occur so that the transfer of biological information is accurate. On the other hand, absolute accuracy in replication of biological information would cancel out mutations that are the raw material of evolution. Why is accuracy in transcription and translation less critical than accuracy in gene replication?
