Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of transcription: Transcription is the process by which the genetic information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
Identify the location of DNA in a eukaryotic cell: In eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus, which is a membrane-bound organelle.
Recognize the role of the nucleus: The nucleus serves as the site where transcription occurs because it houses the cell's DNA and provides the necessary environment for the transcription machinery to function.
Differentiate between transcription and translation: Transcription occurs in the nucleus, while translation, the process of converting mRNA into proteins, occurs in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes.
Conclude that transcription occurs in the nucleus: Based on the understanding of cellular processes and the location of DNA, transcription in eukaryotic cells takes place in the nucleus.
