Best Answer

RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication. Also in DNA replication the compliment of Adenine is Thymine. In transcription the compliment of Adenine is Uracil.

They are both similar in that they both copy the DNA strand. It is just that transcription is the complementary copy and replication is the exact copy. Also during both the DNA molecule unzips and a new strand of mRNA/DNA is formed

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?

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.
