Understanding the Differences Between DNA Replication and Protein Synthesis

DNA replication and protein synthesis are crucial biological processes. DNA replication occurs only in the nucleus prior to mitosis, involving the copying of DNA nucleotides for cell reproduction. In contrast, protein synthesis involves transcription and translation, occurring throughout a cell's life in the nucleus and cytoplasm. This process utilizes RNA (mRNA and tRNA) and builds proteins from amino acids. The main components include DNA, Uracil (instead of Thymine), and various nucleotides. Both processes are essential for cellular function and life.
