A
Transcription. The first stage of protein synthesis.
Translation. The second stage of protein synthesis.
Initiation.
Elongation.
Termination.

Q
similarities between DNA replication & transcription
A
similarities: both occur in the nucleus, both use DNA as the template, DNA unwinds and unzips, complimentary pairing, both controlled by enzymes.
