Well, literally, DNA replication is DNA copying itself, and protein synthesis is producing protein molecules according to the DNA sequences.
DNA replication occurs only once in each cell generation during the S phase of the cell cycle, you might know, but the protein synthesis can occur as many times as needed.
As you know, the DNA is double-stranded. In the replication, the strands are separated creating replication fork. However, in protein synthesis, the strands are separated and mRNA is transcribed by RNA polymerase.
Protein is synthesized by special molecules known as RNA molecules(mRNA, tRNA, and rRNA), which are not needed in DNA replication.
Protein synthesis requires amino acids, whereas DNA replication requires Nucleic acids.

What is the difference between centrosome and ribosome?
Ribosomes are necessary for protein synthesis and centrosomes are used in cell division. Plants do not have centrosomes.
When the DNA synthesis occurs?
There are five stages of the cell cycle. G1 -the first three S -are all part of G2 -Interphase M <--- this is mitosis C -Cytokinesis between interphase (g1, s, g2) and cytokinesis
Functional difference between RER and SER?
rough endoplasmic reticulum[RER] has ribosomes attached to it giving a rough appearance thereby deriving its name. smooth endoplasmic reticulum[SER] is devoid of ribosomes. RER- involved in protein synthesis as ribosomes are concerned with protein synthesis. SER-concerned with lipid synthesis in intestinal cells& with steroid formation in adrenals
What is the site for protein-synthesis?
The site for protein synthesis is a cell structure. The specific structure in which synthesis occurs is the ribosomes, which is in the cytoplasm.
How does the general Idea of forensic science relate to protein synthesis?
The general idea of forensic science in relation to protein synthesis is that genes are the regions of DNA. These encodes and regulates protein synthesis.
Does mitosis refer to protein synthesis?
no, it is producing a new cell.
What is the difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic protein synthesis?
There is no difference.Bacteria have 70s ribosomes.Eukariyotes have 80s ribosomes.
What is the difference between centrosome and ribosome?
Ribosomes are necessary for protein synthesis and centrosomes are used in cell division. Plants do not have centrosomes.
Why do the body need protein synthesis while the body is also synthesis protein?
why does the body need protein synthesis while the also synthesis protein?
What is the product of protein synthesis?
A protein. That's what protein synthesis means.
What is the difference between a rough ER and a soft?
rough Endoplasmic Reticulum is with ribosomes attached .helps in protein synthesis Smooth Endoplasmic Reticulum no ribosomes
What is the sight for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes are site of protein synthesis .
Is protein synthesis is a catabolic reaction?
No, protein synthesis is endergonic.
When the DNA synthesis occurs?
There are five stages of the cell cycle. G1 -the first three S -are all part of G2 -Interphase M <--- this is mitosis C -Cytokinesis between interphase (g1, s, g2) and cytokinesis
Where is the majority OF protein synthesis occurs?
Ribosomes are the site of protein synthesis
What is the role of rRNA the protein synthesis?
it hold the protein synthesis in the ribosomes
Structure responsible for protein synthesis?
Ribosomes, are responsible for protein synthesis.
