Which property is shared by the processes of replication and transcription?
a. they both take place in the cytoplasm of the cell.
b. one strand of nucleic acid serves as a template for synthesis of another.
c. they both make copies of dna.
d. they require ribsomes.
e. they both use the nucleic acid uracil?

Respuesta :

I think the answer is C. I hope it's right.

Answer:

b. one strand of nucleic acid serves as a template for synthesis of another.

Explanation:

Replication is the process of synthesis of new DNA molecules using the existing DNA strands as a template.  

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using the template DNA strand to copy its nucleotide sequence.  

Both replication and transcription use existing DNA strands as a template to make new strands of nucleic acids. Both processes occur inside the nucleus.
