This question reminds me of my medical school age :). There are three terms infact
1) Replication:
It is duplication of DNA which is a very important process during protein formation.
2) Transcription:
It is simply the formation of RNA from DNA which involves separation of DNA strands and then synthesis of RNA from each strand of DNA as a template using enzyme RNA polymerase.
3) Translation:
It is the formation of Protein from RNA in ribosomes.
