Brief Explanations
The first step of protein synthesis is transcription, where DNA is converted to mRNA. This process occurs inside the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, as DNA is housed in the nucleus and cannot leave it directly. Ribosomes and the cytoplasm are involved in the second step (translation), not the first.
