Transaction costs are based on the cost of sending data to the blockchain. There are 4 items which make up the full transaction cost:
the base cost of a transaction (21000 gas)
the cost of a contract deployment (32000 gas)
the cost for every zero byte of data or code for a transaction.
the cost of every non-zero byte of data or code for a transaction.
Execution costs are based on the cost of computational operations which are executed as a result of the transaction.
You can see the breakdown in the yellow paper, Appendix G.
