List two main differences between the processes of transcription and replication with respect to which

DNA strands are used as templates and how much of those strands are used as templates.



What will be an ideal response?


Only one DNA strand is used as a template for transcription but both are used as templates for
replication. Only a small portion of the DNA strand, the coding sequence of a gene, is used as a
template for transcription whereas the entirety of both strands of DNA is used as a template for
replication.
