# Transcription is copying a section of DNA (a gene) onto a mRNA molecule. Replication is the copying the entire DNA molecule. # Transcription does not require primer for initiation.DNA replication use primer for initiation. # RNA transcription, mRNA copy of the active stand of DNA helix is made this process is carried by different enzyme & result is a single of mRNA.DNA replication double helix of DNA is duplicated into two identical double helix which are also identical to the mother DNA, this process is carried by specific enzyme

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.

DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?

DNA replication and transcription occur in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells. In prokaryotic cells, replication and transcription occur in the cytoplasm.


What are the differences between the 3' and 5' ends of DNA and how do these differences impact processes such as replication and transcription?

The 3' end of DNA has a free hydroxyl group on the third carbon of the sugar molecule, while the 5' end has a phosphate group attached to the fifth carbon. These differences impact processes like replication and transcription because enzymes that carry out these processes can only add new nucleotides to the 3' end. This means that DNA replication and transcription occur in a specific direction, from the 5' to the 3' end.


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.


What is the direction of transcription from 3 prime to 5 prime in DNA replication?

In DNA replication, the direction of transcription is from 3' to 5' prime.


What DNA begins to uncoil DNA?

Helicase is the enzyme responsible for unwinding the double-stranded DNA molecule during DNA replication. It breaks the hydrogen bonds between the nitrogenous bases, separating the two strands and allowing for the replication process to occur.


Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?

They are completely different processes in the central dogma. DNA replication is the replication of DNA into DNA by DNA polymerases. Trancription is the transcription of DNA into RNA by RNA polymerase.


When do hydrogen bonds between the nitrogen bases break?

In preparation for DNA replication or transcription.
