Answer:

Replication and transcription both have

specific proteins that keep the

polymerase molecule attached to the

parental DNA strand. There are

elongation factors for transcription

and sliding clamp for replication.

• Both processes use DNA

topoisomerases to relieve

supercoiling.

• Both processes only proceed in the 5'

to 3' direction.

• Replication and transcription both

involve the addition of specific 3'

endings. In replication, it is the addition

of the GGGTTA sequence by

telomerase. In transcription, it is the

addition of the poly-A tail.

• Both processes used nucleotides as

the language on which the daughter

strands come from.

Replication and transcription involve

the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester

bonds to begin their process.

And finally, both take place in the nucleus
