I consider which transcription only decribes a specific routine which DNA goes by in sequence to replicate, –is which correct?
But Translation creates proteins, thats all different. –has not most to do with riposte right? Please clarify, im confused, thanks!

DNA —> DNA = replication
DNA —> RNA = transcription (transcribe means to make a copy. Here you are copying DNA to make RNA)
RNA —> Protein = translation (translate means to transform. You are taking your RNA and basically transforming it to make a protein.)

In simple words, DNA replication is when the DNA double helix unwinds itself and makes copies of itself- so after the unwinding of the helix, floating nucleotides come and base-pair (complement) the bases on the template strand (these nucleotides are added by a protein called DNA polymerase). So in the end, we will have produced two identical copies of DNA molecules from a single DNA molecule.
Meanwhile, transcription is the production or synthesis of RNA encoded by DNA. So DNA sequences are read to produce mRNA transcripts.
Translation refers to protein synthesis, in which proteins are made (or really, polypeptides are made; they’re called proteins after these polypeptides are processed) by reading the sequence information after the mature and processed mRNA by a ribosome.

DNA replication is the process of DNA being copied to make more DNA. Transcription is the process of DNA being read and RNA being made based on that particular DNA strand. Translation is taking the RNA just made and using it to make a protein. One DNA strand can make as many copies of RNA as it needs, and one RNA strand can make as many proteins as it needs. Each cell will utilize different parts of the DNA in order to make what it needs in that particular environment.
