No, transcription and replication are different. DNA replication is the process where one double helix of DNA is duplicated into two identical double helixes which are also identical to the mother DNA. RNA transcription is the process by which a messenger RNA copy of the active strand of a DNA helix is created.
I hope that helps.

Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
What does the word replicate mean involving DNA?
DNA replication, the basis for biological inheritance, is a fundamental process occurring in all living organisms to copy their DNA. This process is "replication" in that each strand of the original double-stranded DNA molecule serves as template for the reproduction of the complementary strand. Hence, following DNA replication, two identical DNA molecules have been produced from a single double-stranded DNA molecule. Cellular proofreading and error-checking mechanisms ensure near perfect fidelity for DNA replication. by: Denfol Gevero
What is another word for recombinant DNA?
Another Word for DNA is very simple it is Deoxyribonucleic Acid. Also DNA is a easy way to identify things about yourself. Many police and scientist use DNA to solve Murders or Crimes and also Mysteries
What is another word for a large molecule?
Another word for a large molecule is a macromolecule.Examples are nucleic acids (DNA, RNA), lipids and phospholipids, proteins, and polysaccharides.
What does the acronym rt pcr stand for?
RT-PCR stands for Reverse-Transcription-Polymerase Chain Reaction. It is used in labratories to generate many copies of a DNA sequence. There are other abbreviations close to this as well.
Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
Which best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication-?
Another answer could be that Transcription uses Uracil. This is the answer I got from Apex btw.
Is DNA transciption is another word for DNA replication?
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.
How are transcription and replication differ?
When RNA is produced from DNA strand it is called transcription and when another DNA molecule comes out from the previous one it is called replication
What term is used to describe the the process of copying DNA?
Replication is the term used to describe the process of copying DNA. Or perhaps transcription.
What DNA begins to uncoil DNA?
DNA helix uncoils the DNA for transcription to occur.
What best describes a difference between transcription and DNA replication?
The difference between transcription and DNA replication is that transcription uses uracil.
What is a major difference between DNA replication DNA transcription?
RNA molecules produced by transcription are much shorter in length than DNA molecules produced by replication.
DNA replication and transcription occur in the what?
Nucleus.
What transcription similar to in the process of DNA?
replication
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.
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.
