Question
what is the location in the cell for transcription? nucleus mitochondria ribosome cytoplasm
Transcription is the process of copying a segment of DNA into RNA. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is located in the nucleus, and transcription occurs there. Mitochondria have their own DNA and perform some transcription related to mitochondrial functions, but the main transcription of the cell's genetic information (from nuclear DNA) occurs in the nucleus. Ribosomes are involved in translation (protein synthesis from mRNA), not transcription. The cytoplasm is where many cellular processes occur, but transcription's primary site (for nuclear - encoded genes) is the nucleus.
