In comparing DNA replication with RNA transcription in the same eukaryotic cell, only DNA replication ________.
A) uses RNA polymerase
B) makes a new molecule from its 5' end to its 3' end
C) occurs in the nucleus of the cell
D) incorporates the entire template molecule in the product

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

During DNA replication, the entire template molecule is incorporated into the new product, while during RNA transcription, only a portion of the template DNA molecule (the gene of interest) is used to make a new RNA molecule. Additionally, DNA replication occurs in the nucleus of the cell, while RNA transcription can occur in both the nucleus and cytoplasm. Finally, while both processes involve the use of polymerase enzymes, DNA replication uses DNA polymerase, while RNA transcription uses RNA polymerase.
