Difference Between Transcription and Replication

 

Replication

Transcription

Occurrence

S phase of the cell cycle

G1 and G2 phase of the cell cycle

Primer

Requires RNA primer for replication to start

Does not require a primer

Enzymes

DNA Polymerase, DNA Helicase

RNA polymerase, Transcriptase

Genome copy

Entire genome is copied

Only certain genes are copied

Position

Found along the DNA strand

Found only along 1 strand of DNA

Raw material

dATP, dTTP, dCTP and dGTP

ATP, GTP, CTP, and UTP

Intend

Conserving genome for further generations

Making copies of RNA of genes individually

Result

Two daughter strands

mRNA, rRNA, non-coding RNA and tRNA

Degradation

Products do not degrade

Products degrade
