Which of the following is NOT a shared trait between DNA replication and transcription? Both replication and transcription are examples of Nucleic Acid synthesis. Both replication and transcription read a template from 3' to 5' and build 5' to 3' Both replication and transcription use a "guess and check" method to place the right nucleotide. Both DNA polymerase and RNA polymerase have the ability to start strands from scratch.

In what way is RNA transcription similar to DNA replication? It uses the same 4 nucleotide bases. It requires a primer. The newly-formed polymer is the reverse complement of the template. Nucleotides can only be added onto the 5' end of the existing polymer. All of the above are the same for replication and transcription. QUESTION 10 Imagine you discover a yeast mutant that exhibits a general inability to grow and thrive compared to wild-type yeast. You predict that the mutant has a defect in a basic process necessary for survival and therefore examine the cellular levels of 200 common proteins, as well as the levels of tRNAs and rRNAs. You discover that tRNA and rRNA levels are normal, but the levels of all of the proteins you examine are much lower than they are in the wild-type yeast. This suggests that there is a general defect in: Transcription DNA Replication 5' capping All of the above processes

Fill in the blanks to describe the similarities between transcription and DNA replication. Both transcription and DNA replication produce nucleic acids which are polymers of (C, G, A, and T or U). Both processes depend on an enzyme which adds one nucleotide at a time. To determine which nucleotide is added next, both transcription and DNA replication use the nucleotide sequence in a strand and the rules.
1.A correct comparison between transcription and DNA replication is that a Typically the first nucleic acid synthesized in transcription is an RNA made without a primer, while DNA replication is initiated with a DNA primer. b Typically only one strand of the DNA template is used in transcription or in DNA replication at a replication fork. c In DNA synthesis, the synthesized strand remains associated with the template strand, while in RNA synthesis it does not. d Synthesis of the new strand occurs in the 5’ to 3’ direction for DNA replication, but for transcription it occurs in the 3’ to 5’ direction. e All of the above are correct comparisons.
