Pretty sure nature does have checksums in some places. IIRC, there are some genetic sequences that are surprisingly resistant to mutation upon copying, but the same doesn’t apply to every sequence on account of, I assume, it being expensive in some way.
I am not sure what to search to find what I think I remember.

They would have to mutate in a way that would either overpower the original very quickly or in a way that they were unidentifiable.
Most likely though the original would recognize the mutation as an outsider and immediately terminate it.
