Verified Answer :

i think the answer would be d

Answer: The correct answer is D) Replication creates new DNA while transcription creates mRNA.

Replication is a genetic process in which DNA ( deoxyribonucleic acid) is duplicated so that two copies of the genetic material is prepared. This is important for cell division.

Transcription is a process, which includes copying of the genetic formation from DNA into mRNA ( messenger RNA). This provides instructions for the synthesis of specific proteins.

Thus, the correct option is D)
