Difference between Transcription and DNA replication
Difference between Transcription and DNA replication are in tabular form below –
No. |
Transcription |
DNA replication |
Definition |
||
1. | A process where single stranded RNA is synthesized by double stranded DNA template. | A process or replicationwhich occurs during cell cycle (DuringS phase of cell cycle) where an exact copy of DNA is formed. |
Production |
||
2. | In the transcription, it produces two daughter strands. | In the DNA replication, it produces tRNA, rRNA, mRNA and non-coding RNA. |
Synthesis |
||
3. | In this process, the short RNA strand is synthesized. | In this process, the long DNA strand is synthesized. |
Required enzymes |
||
4. | In the transcription process, enzymes such as RNA polymerase and transcriptase are required. | In the DNA replication, enzymes such as DNA ligase, Helicase, DNA primase and Topoisomerase are required. |
Polymerase |
||
5. | Here, RNA polymerase is required. | Here, DNA polymerase is required. |
6. | In the transcription, primer is not required. | In the DNA replication, RNA primer is required. |
