Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these processes happen in the nucleus of a Eukaryotic cell?
A
DNA Replication
B
Transcription
C
Translation
D
None of them
Explanation: 

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: -In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus. During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA (mRNA).

Detailed explanation-3: -Eukaryotic transcription is carried out in the nucleus of the cell and proceeds in three sequential stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. Eukaryotes require transcription factors to first bind to the promoter region and then help recruit the appropriate polymerase.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -In the eukaryotes, the process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus of the cell and in this process, a primary mRNA transcript is synthesized from a segment of the DNA template strand by the enzyme RNA polymerase, This mRNA transcript is then transported from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
