Accepted Answer

Transcription is the process in which genetic information encoded in DNA is copied into RNA. It occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells and in the cytoplasm of prokaryotic cells. Replication is the process in which DNA is copied during cell division. Translation is the process of synthesizing a protein from the RNA template. Transversion is a type of genetic mutation where a purine is replaced by a pyrimidine or vice versa. Transformation is the process of introducing foreign DNA into a bacterial cell.
