I guess they take a longer path to ensure that the things are controlled and replication is accurate. But is it possible to implement these checks and processes directly in DNA to proteins?
In: Biology
Technically it _could_, but efficient design and allocation of functions stand in the way of that. Without going into detail, while it’s _possible_, it’s not nearly as suitable as what we currently have (therefore we don’t do that), and we would need modified protein machinery and other things in order to facilitate it which we currently lack.
