Which property is shared by the processes of replication and transcription? a. they both take place in the cytoplasm of the cell. b. one strand of nucleic acid serves as a template for synthesis of another. c. they both make copies of dna. d. they require ribsomes. e. they both use the nucleic acid uracil?

b. one strand of nucleic acid serves as a template for synthesis of another.

Explanation:

Replication is the process of synthesis of new DNA molecules using the existing DNA strands as a template.  

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using the template DNA strand to copy its nucleotide sequence.  

Both replication and transcription use existing DNA strands as a template to make new strands of nucleic acids. Both processes occur inside the nucleus.
