Answer:

Transcription copies the DNA into RNA, while replication makes another copy of DNA.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both processes involve the generation of a new molecule of nucleic acids, either DNA or RNA; however, the function of each process is very different, with one involved in gene expression and the other involved in cell division
