Many of the organisms that had existed on the earth left no fossils because most of them can not meet the conditions that must be fulfilled before fossils can form. For fossils formation to occur, the organism soft tissue must decay leaving behind the hard part [majorly bone] in the sediment. Overtime, layers of sediment have to build up and pressed down on the buried remains. As time goes on, water and mineral seeped into the remains and form crystals.
The function of a vacuole is to store food or any other type of nutrients the cell might need to survive. This is true for both the plant and animal cell, though in the plant cell the vacuole's are much larger.
Transcription doesn't have to be as accurate as replication. The answer is simple that transcripts can not be store permanently. And so it is not accurate. as far as the question of the accuracy of replication concern, it is consider more accurate because of the following steps taking place in this process:
1) high selectivity of DNA polymerase
2) exonucleatic proofreading
The nearest star to the Earth is The Sun
