No - they are different processes, although both use a DNA template. DNA transcription is the copying of DNA to create mRNA, which is then translated into a polypeptide (protein). DNA replication creates a new strand of DNA.

∙ 12y agoDNA transcription is the process of copying a DNA template onto a messenger RNA. This mRNA is then translated into an amino acid sequence (polypeptide/protein). DNA replication is the copying of DNA to make more copies of DNA.

∙ 12y agoNo, Transcription does not require Replication to take place first. Transcription is simply the process of making mRNA from DNA so that the ribosomes have directions to make proteins. Replication is the complete copy of the genetic material in the host chromosome which would occur before the cell divides.

What DNA begins to uncoil DNA?
DNA helix uncoils the DNA for transcription to occur.
Transcription follows the same base-pairing rules as DNA replication except for cytosine which has a different partner?
This is false transcription does not follows the same base-pairing rules as DNA replication except for cytosine which has a different partner. Transcription begins with an enzyme called RNA polymerase.
DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?
Nucleus.
What transcription similar to in the process of DNA?
replication
Difference between DNA replication and transcription?
1. Replication is the duplication of two-strands of DNA. Transcription is the formation of single, identical RNA from the two-stranded DNA. 2. There are different proteins involved in replication and transcription. 3. In replication, the end result is two daughter cells, while in transcription, the end result is a protein molecule. 4. In transcription, DNA serves as the template for RNA synthesis.
Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication-?
Another answer could be that Transcription uses Uracil. This is the answer I got from Apex btw.
What term is used to describe the the process of copying DNA?
Replication is the term used to describe the process of copying DNA. Or perhaps transcription.
What DNA begins to uncoil DNA?
DNA helix uncoils the DNA for transcription to occur.
What best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication?
The difference between transcription and DNA replication is that transcription uses uracil.
Transcription follows the same base-pairing rules as DNA replication except for cytosine which has a different partner?
This is false transcription does not follows the same base-pairing rules as DNA replication except for cytosine which has a different partner. Transcription begins with an enzyme called RNA polymerase.
What is a major difference between DNA replication DNA transcription?
RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication.
Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
What transcription similar to in the process of DNA?
replication
DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?
Nucleus.
How does transcription differ from DNA replication Describe at least four differences?
DNA replication produces a complimentary DNA strand. Transcription produces a complimentary mRNA strand. The major enzyme that carries out DNA replication is DNA Polymerase III (in prokaryotes). The major enzyme that carries out transcription is RNA Polymerase. DNA replication results in two copies of the DNA. Transciption does not affect the DNA - it simply re-anneals (re-joins) after the process. In DNA replication the complementary base to A is T. In transcription the complementary base to A is U.
How are transcription and replication differ?
When RNA is produced from DNA strand it is called transcription and when another DNA molecule comes out from the previous one it is called replication
