Answer:
Replication and transcription both have
specific proteins that keep the
polymerase molecule attached to the
parental DNA strand. There are
elongation factors for transcription
and sliding clamp for replication.
• Both processes use DNA
topoisomerases to relieve
supercoiling.
• Both processes only proceed in the 5'
to 3' direction.
• Replication and transcription both
involve the addition of specific 3'
endings. In replication, it is the addition
of the GGGTTA sequence by
telomerase. In transcription, it is the
addition of the poly-A tail.
• Both processes used nucleotides as
the language on which the daughter
strands come from.
Replication and transcription involve
the hydrolysis of a phosphodiester
bonds to begin their process.
And finally, both take place in the nucleus
