Answer: The correct answer is: C The are the same except osmosis specifically and only involves water.

Explanation:

Osmosis is the process in which a solvent moves across a semipermeable membrane in order to dilute a concentrated solution and it ends up equalizing the concentration of the solution at both sides of the cell membrane.

On the other hand, diffusion occurs when particles move from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration and it ends up equalizing the concentration.

So the main difference is the presence/ Lack of water in the processes.

In conclusion the correct answer is : C.

(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (2 points) New cells can only be
Softa [21]
The correct option is D.
Transcription is the process by which the information in a DNA molecule is copied into an mRNA strand. Replication is the process by which two new strands of DNA are formed from a single parent DNA. Both the DNA and the RNA are composed of four different bases, three of the bases are the same while one is different for the DNA and RNA. It is only the RNA that has uracil while it is only the DNA that has thymine. Thus, Uracil is involved during the process of transcription since it is an mRNA strand that is formed while thymine is the one involved during the process of replication since it is a DNA molecule that is formed.<span />

VLD [36.1K]

These segments of DNA that contain the code for specific proteins are called genes.

Actual coding region of DNA are called exons.

Explanation:

A segment of DNA that codes for one distinct protein is called a gene. Each chromosome carries thousands of various genes. The genetic code of the DNA ever prevails protected inside the nucleus.

a gene is a stretch of DNA. Nucleotide consists of a sugar, phosphate and a base.. Genes are organized and packaged in units named “chromosomes.” Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes.
