Detailed explanation-1: -DNA replication, transcription, and RNA processing all take place within the nucleus, with only the final stage of gene expression (translation) localized to the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -During transcription, a piece of DNA that codes for a specific gene is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA) in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Replication and transcription occur in the nucleus but translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-4: -In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-5: -The most prominent substructure within the nucleus is the nucleolus (see Figure 8.1), which is the site of rRNA transcription and processing, and of ribosome assembly.
