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.

During transcription, the resulting bases on the mRNA if the DNA has the base adenine is Proteins.
Thymine is the complementary base for adenine during DNA transcription. During RNA transcription, however, uracil is the complementary base for adenine.

Replication, Transcription, and Translation
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 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.

The difference between transcription and DNA replication is that transcription uses uracil.
adenine
Messenger Rna is made. mRna is single stranded and is made through RNA polymerase. Replication = duplication of Dna, Transcription = the duplication of genetic information into mRnas, Translation = the production of proteins by the activity of Ribosomes.
Base pairing refers to the pairing of complimentary nitrogen bases, either during DNA replication, or transcription and translation. In DNA, the bases adenine and thymine pair together, and guanine and cytosine pair together. In RNA, the base uracil takes the place of the base thymine. The bases that pair together are said to be complimentary to each other.
The process in which a mRNA molecule forms (by base-pairing) along a part of a DNA molecule is called transcription.
to make a new copy before the cell splits
The base-pairing during transcription is the same as when DNA replicates, except that RNA has uracil instead of thymine.
