Transcript DNA Replication vs protein synthesis and transcription vs translation

DNA Replication
vs.
Protein Synthesis
Protein Synthesis
DNA Replication
•Happens only in the nucleus
•DNA nucleotides only
•Only happens prior to mitosis
•Involves DNA
•Needed for cell
reproduction
•A copy of the DNA is
made
•
•
•
Happens in nucleus and
cytoplasm
Involves RNA and DNA
Nucleotides
Happens throughout the cells life
Translation
Transcription
•DNA is involved
•Happens in the nucleus
•Part of Protein Synthesis
•Thymine is involved
•mRNA is involved
•Uracil is involved
•Amino Acids
are involved
•tRNA is
involved
•Happens in
the cytoplasm
