Which of following statements describes a difference between replication of DNA and transcription of RNA?
A) Nucleoside triphosphates are the precursors for replication, but nucleoside diphosphates are used for transcription.
B) Both strands of DNA are copied in replication, but usually only one is copied in transcription.
C) Base pairing is used to copy the sequence in replication, but not in transcription.
