1. Identify five differences between DNA replication and gene transcription. DNA replication gene transcription. occurs in preparation for cell division, Produces two two copies of DNA, double stranded Uses DNA as template to form DNA Catalyzed by DNA polymerase the end result is two daughter cells. happens in preparation for protein translation. Produces mRNA, single stranded Uses template DNA as a template and forms RNA Catalyzed by RNA polymerase End result is mRNA which is then exported out of the nucleus for translation 2. Identify four differences between DNA and RNA. DNA RNA Deoxyribonucleic acid is the hereditary material in most of the organisms Made of 2-deoxyribose sugar Contains thymine as one of the 4 nitrogen base It is double stranded Ribonucleic acid transfers genetic code needed for the creation of proteins from the nucleus to the ribosome. Made of ribose sugar Has Uracil as the nitrogen base instead of thymine Single stranded DNA replication gene transcription. occurs in preparation for cell division, Produces two two copies of DNA, double stranded Uses DNA as template to form DNA Catalyzed by DNA polymerase the end result is two daughter cells. happens in preparation for protein translation. Produces mRNA, single stranded Uses template DNA as a template and forms RNA Catalyzed by RNA polymerase End result is mRNA which is then exported out of the nucleus for translation Solution 1.
