Question

where does transcription happen?
□ cytoplasm
□ mitochondria
□ ribosomes
□ nucleus
□ cell membrane

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from DNA. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus. So transcription occurs in the nucleus. Other options: cytoplasm is where translation (protein synthesis) occurs at ribosomes; mitochondria have their own DNA and can transcribe, but the primary site for nuclear DNA transcription is the nucleus; ribosomes are for translation; cell membrane is for transport/signaling, not transcription.

Answer:

nucleus (the checkbox next to "nucleus" should be selected)
