Multiple Choice
In a typical eukaryotic cell, where does DNA transcription occur?
A
Inside lysosomes
B
In the Golgi apparatus
C
In the nucleus
D
In the cytosol on free ribosomes
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that DNA transcription is the process where the genetic information in DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA).
Understand that transcription requires access to DNA, which is located inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in degradation of cellular waste, not in transcription.
Know that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying and packaging proteins, not for transcription.
Remember that free ribosomes in the cytosol are sites of protein synthesis (translation), not transcription.
