In which of the following ways is dna replication similar to transcription?
a) new cells are created after both have happened.
b) cytosine pairs with guanine in both.
c) both take place in the cell cytoplasm.

B) Cytosine pairs with guanine in both.

Explanation:

DNA replication is the process by which DNA makes an identical  copy of itself during cell division. In this process the DNA polymerase adds a new strand of DNA to the template strand by matching Cytosines with Guanines and Adenines with Thymines.

In transcription  a copy of a specific DNA fragment is made,  however, this copy has  Adenines paired with Uracils instead Adenines  with Thymines.

In both, replication and transcription Cytosine pairs with guanine.

cells use diffusion to get substances in and out of themselves. that diffusion will occur across the cell membrane or the outer covering of the cell. because we are talking about the surface of the cell, surface area and volume are  important factors here. as a cell increases in size, its surface area and volume increase as well.  we call that the surface area to volume ratio (sa: vol).  but the catch is that  volume increases at a greater rate than surface  area. in other words, as a cell gets bigger, the sa: vol gets smaller. so a really small cell like bacteria is mostly cell membrane (surface) with very little contents (volume). a really big cell like an egg, is mostly insides with a super thin membrane. so what ends up happening is that the cell cannot efficiently diffuse all of the stuff it needs in/out to survive. therefore cell size is limited to about 100mm. so how do we make organisms bigger than 100mm? cells divide! by dividing and becoming multicellular, organisms are able to grow!   check out the diagrams i attached to see the effect of sa: vol. i hope this ! good luck!
