1. DNA Replication vs. Protein Synthesis

2. Needed for cell reproduction
Protein Synthesis
DNA Replication
Happens only in the nucleus
DNA nucleotides only
Only happens prior to mitosis
Involves DNA
Needed for cell reproduction
A copy of the DNA is made
Happens in nucleus and cytoplasm
Involves RNA and DNA Nucleotides
Happens throughout the cells life

3. Part of Protein Synthesis mRNA is involved Uracil is involved
Translation
Transcription
DNA is involved
Happens in the nucleus
Thymine is involved
Part of Protein Synthesis
mRNA is involved
Uracil is involved
Amino Acids are involved
tRNA is involved
Happens in the cytoplasm
