Detailed explanation-1: –In replication, DNA polymerase creates a complementary copy of the DNA sequence using DNA nucleotides.-In transcription, RNA polymerase is used and it connects RNA nucleotides with the complementary bases of the original strand to create mRNA.

Detailed explanation-2: -The principle of complementarity governs the process of both transcription and DNA replication due to the fact that when two DNA or RNA sequences are aligned anti parallel to each other, the nucleotides bases at each position in the sequences will be complementary or like mirror image.

Detailed explanation-3: -Both DNA Replication and Transcription involve the generation of a new copy of the DNA in a cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -Portions of DNA Sequence Are Transcribed into RNA The information in RNA, although copied into another chemical form, is still written in essentially the same language as it is in DNA-the language of a nucleotide sequence. Hence the name transcription.

Detailed explanation-5: -Correct answer: Both use DNA as the template. Explanation: In both replication and transcription, DNA is the template used to create the desired product.
