Transcription is when DNA is copied into RNA.

Answer 2

When applied to a single strand of DNA, transcription produces C for each G; T for each A: and G for each C; A for each T. This refers tot eh triplets of base pairs.

Replication is the process where an IDENTICAL strand is reproduced by reverse transcription. e.g.
Stage 1 AAA is transcribed as TTT
Stage 2 TTT is then further transcribed and gives you AAA
The replica

Hope this helps
