Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Recall that DNA transcription is the process by which messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a DNA template.
Understand that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is housed within the nucleus, which serves as the control center of the cell.
Recognize that transcription requires access to DNA, so it must occur where DNA is located, which is primarily in the nucleus.
Note that ribosomes in the cytosol are the sites of translation, not transcription, where mRNA is used to synthesize proteins.
Acknowledge that while mitochondria have their own DNA and can transcribe some genes, the majority of cellular genes are transcribed in the nucleus.
