In which of the following ways is DNA replication similar to transcription?

New cells are created after both have happened.


Cytosine pairs with guanine in both.


Both take place in the cell cytoplasm.


Both create new DNA strands.

Verified Answer :

Answer:

The correct answer is the second statement.

Explanation:

The process of replication comprises generation of daughter DNA strands by utilizing the information found within the parent DNA, with the assistance of DNA polymerase enzyme. It occurs at the time of the cell differentiation as the molecules of daughter DNA are provided to the novel daughter cells.  

At the time of DNA replication, the pairing of adenine takes place with thymine and the pairing of guanine takes place with cytosine. The process occurs within the nucleus. The process of transcription comprises the generation of mRNA molecules with the assistance of template DNA and RNA polymerase enzyme.  

At the time of DNA transcription also, adenine pairs with uracil in place of thymine, while guanine pairs with cytosine and the process also occurs within the nucleus. Thus, the second statement is the correct one.  

The similarity between transcription and replication is the pairing of cytosine with guanine. Thus, option B is correct.

DNA replication is the process of copying DNA into new DNA from the parent strand. The transcription is the process of the formation of RNA strands from the DNA parent template.

What is a similarity between Replication and Transcription?

DNA replication results in the formation of new complementary DNA strands with the action of DNA polymerase. The process results with the addition of complementary base pairs to the parent nucleotides.

The transcription is the process of the formation of complementary  RNA strands with the action of RNA polymerase. The strand has the addition of complementary RNA bases in the new strand.

Both the process occurs in the nucleus.

The complementary bases for DNA and RNA formed new molecules are given in the table attached.

The complementary strands created in both strands process have cytosine pairs with guanine. Thus, option B is correct.
