1. The first step in DNA replication is to unzip the double helix structure of the DNA molecule.
2. This is carried out by an enzyme called helicase which breaks the hydrogen bonds holding the complementary bases of DNA together (A with T, C with G).
3. The separation of the two single strands of DNA creates a ‘Y’ shape called a replication fork. The two separated strands will act as templates for making the new strands of DNA.
4. One of the strands is oriented in the 3’ to 5’ direction (towards the replication fork), this is the leading strand. The other strand is oriented in the 5’ to 3’ direction (away from the replication fork), this is the lagging strand. As a result of their different orientations, the two strands are replicated differently.
5.A short piece of RNA called a primer comes along and binds to the end of the leading strand. The primer acts as the starting point for DNA synthesis.
6. DNA polymerase binds to the leading strand and then walks along it, adding new complementary nucleotide bases (A, C, G and T) to the strand of DNA in the 5’ to 3’ direction.
7. .Once all of the bases are matched up (A with T, C with G), an enzyme called exonuclease strips away the primer(s). The gaps where the primer(s) were are then filled by yet more complementary nucleotides.
8..The new strand is proofread to make sure there are no mistakes in the new DNA sequence.
9. Finally, an enzyme called DNA ligase seals up the sequence of DNA into two continuous double strands.
10. Following replication the new DNA automatically winds up into a double helix.
1: Initiation 2: Elongation 3: Termination
DNA replication occurs before a cell undergoes mitosis. Transcription and translation can occur whether or not the DNA has replicated.
Dna don't reproduce they actually go through two processes transcription and translation these two processes can be easily found in diagrams, in books or after an internet search
transcription and translation
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.
Transcription and translation are the two processes necessary to build a protein based upon genetic information within DNA. Transcription is the term used for the construction of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule based on the DNA template. Translation refers to the processes of building a protein based upon the mRNA template.
Replication and transcription involves a parental DNA strand that is the foundation on which the products are built on.Replication and transcription both have initiation step which involve the breakage of the parental DNA strand.Replication and transcription both have specific proteins that keep the polymerase molecule attached to the parental DNA strand. There are elongation factors for transcription and sliding clamp for replication.Both processes use DNA topoisomerases to relieve supercoiling.Both processes only proceed in the 5' to 3' direction.Replication and transcription both involve the addition of specific 3' endings. In replication, it is the addition of the GGGTTA sequence by telomerase. In transcription, it is the addition of the poly-A tail.Both processes used nucleotides as the language on which the daughter strands come from.Replication and transcription involve the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester bonds to begin their process.Both processes take place in the nucleus.
Dna transcription, the production of messenger Rna.

Protein synthesis occurs by the processes of transcription and translation. In transcription, the genetic code.

Both of these 'Distinct Processes' occur within the Cell's Nucleus.
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.
This is known as the set of biochemical processes [performed by Dna polymerases] that perform Dna Replication.
