(03.05 MC) In which of the following ways is DNA replication different from DNA transcription? (2 points) New cells can only be created after transcription has taken place. Replication results in mRNA strands while transcription creates new DNA. Transcription happens outside the nucleus and replication happens inside the nucleus. Thymine is used in replication while uracil is used in transcription.

The correct option is this: THYMINE IS USED IN REPLICATION WHILE URACIL IS USED IN TRANSCRIPTION.
DNA replication is the process by which two new strands of DNA molecules are formed from one parent DNA molecule. Transcription is the process by which a DNA molecule is transcript [copy] into a single stranded RNA molecule. Both the DNA and the RNA molecule are made up of four different bases, but it is only the DNA that has thymine while it is only the RNA that has uracil, thus, uracil is involved during transcription while thymine is involved during replication.
Note that,
1. Both replication and transcription take place in the nucleus.
2. Replication result in two new DNA strands while transcription result in mRNA strand.
