where does transcription occur in eukaryotes?
cytoplasm
endoplasmic reticulum
nucleus
gogi apparatus
review
Transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template. In eukaryotes, DNA is located in the nucleus. The nucleus contains the genetic material (DNA) which serves as the template for transcription. Organelles like the cytoplasm, endoplasmic reticulum, and Golgi apparatus are not the sites where DNA is present for the transcription process to occur. The endoplasmic reticulum is involved in protein and lipid synthesis, the Golgi apparatus in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins and lipids, and the cytoplasm is the site for many metabolic reactions but not transcription (translation occurs in the cytoplasm).
