No - they are different processes, although both use a DNA template. DNA transcription is the copying of DNA to create mRNA, which is then translated into a polypeptide (protein). DNA replication creates a new strand of DNA.

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?

Transcription is the process of synthesizing a complementary RNA strand from a DNA template, while replication is the process of making an exact copy of the DNA molecule. Transcription produces RNA, whereas replication produces DNA. Transcription occurs at specific genes, while replication occurs throughout the entire genome.

Transcription follows the same base-pairing rules as DNA replication except for cytosine which has a different partner?

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.
