Detailed explanation-1: -Both DNA Replication and Transcription involve the generation of a new copy of the DNA in a cell. DNA transcription is involved in replicating the DNA into RNA, while DNA replication makes another copy of DNA.
Detailed explanation-2: -The RNA transcript carries the same information as the non-template (coding) strand of DNA, but it contains the base uracil (U) instead of thymine (T).
Detailed explanation-3: -The Central Dogma of Molecular Biology states that DNA makes RNA makes proteins (Figure 1). The process by which DNA is copied to RNA is called transcription, and that by which RNA is used to produce proteins is called translation.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription differs from DNA replication because of the following differences. First, replication is the duplication of two strands of DNA, whereas transcription is the formation of a single identical DNA from the two stranded DNA.
