Question
where does transcription occur in eukaryotic cells? cell membrane nucleus cytoplasm mitochondria rewatch submit
Transcription is the process of synthesizing mRNA from DNA. In eukaryotic cells, genomic DNA is enclosed within the nucleus, which is the dedicated compartment for this process (since the nuclear membrane separates DNA from the cytoplasm where translation occurs). Mitochondria have their own small DNA and can perform transcription, but the primary site for nuclear DNA transcription is the nucleus.
