Characteristics of transcription
|
|
makes a mRNA
|
|
|
makes a protein (polypeptide)
|
|
|
occurs in the nucleus
|
|
|
occurs at a ribosome
|
Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas the major mRNA decay pathways operate in the cytoplasm. As synthesis and decay processes contribute equally to maintaining mRNA levels, it is quite likely that organisms have evolved a mechanism to coordinate events in the two compartments.
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 ). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.
Detailed explanation-3: -Thus, in eukaryotes, while transcription occurs in the nucleus, translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
