Question

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

A) New cells are created after both have happened.
B) Cytosine pairs with guanine in both.
C) Both take place in the cell cytoplasm.

Answer 1

B) Cytosine pairs with guanine in both.

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes an identical copy of itself during cell division. In this process the DNA polymerase adds a new strand of DNA to the template strand by matching Cytosines with Guanines and Adenines with Thymines.

In transcription a copy of a specific DNA fragment is made, however, this copy has Adenines paired with Uracils instead Adenines with Thymines.

In both, replication and transcription Cytosine pairs with guanine.
