Summary Introduction

To explain:

The reason for the fact that the accuracy of RNA transcription is not critical to the accuracy of DNA replication.

Concept introduction:

Gene is defined as the basic unit of heredity. It is basically a sequence of nucleotides in the $\text{DNA}$ (deoxyribonucleic acid) that codes for functional proteins. In the expression of genes, $\text{DNA}$ is first transcribed into $\text{RNA}$ (ribonucleic acid) and then, this $\text{RNA}$ is translated into proteins. The proteins are responsible for the proper functioning of the cell.
