Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas the major mRNA decay pathways operate in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-2: -In transcription, DNA is converted to mRNA. It takes place in the nucleus of a cell. The newly formed mRNA, undergoes processing, and moves out into the cytoplasm through the nuclear pores, to proceed with the next step of protein synthesis, which is translation.
Detailed explanation-3: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus and not in the cytoplasm in eukaryotes because eukaryotes store the DNA in the nucleus. In prokaryotes, there is no nucleus and the DNA is in the cytoplasm. Thus, transcription can occur in the cytoplasm as well.
Detailed explanation-4: -The process of Transcription takes place in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes and in nucleus in eukaryotes. It uses DNA as a template to make an RNA (mRNA) molecule. During transcription, a strand of mRNA is made that is complementary to a strand of DNA .
Detailed explanation-5: -In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
