What are two differences between transcription and DNA replication?

# 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
