HELPPPP!!! DNA replication & transcription

DNA replication and transcription are two processes that occur in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
* Compare DNA replication and transcription by describing the similarities and differences between the two processes. (6mks)

Please anyone I need your help for this question to get enough points with scientific terminologies
Any would go a long way

1. Some of the similarities between the process of replication and transcription are as follows:

•

Both processes are intended to work on the genetic material. Both of the processes are aimed at maintaining the integrity of the genetic material.

•

Both of the processes have deoxyribose nucleic acid (DNA) as the template.

•

The direction of DNA and RNA synthesis takes place from 5' to 3' direction.

•

Both of the processes need enzymes for the facilitation of important reactions.

•

The process of DNA replication is intended to replicate the DNA, whereas in the process of transcription , DNA is transcribed into the molecule of RNA.
