Question

Explain why transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes.

Bonus: Compare the processes of replication and transcription.

Answer 1

The transcription is the process by which the DNA molecule makes an RNA molecule using the enzyme RNA polymerase and other proteins.

Step-by-step answer:

The mRNA is then used to generate proteins by a process that is called translation which would occur in the cytoplasm. The transcription occurs in the nucleus because the DNA cannot leave the nucleus. which is the center in which the DNA is stored.

Answer 2

Transcription occurs in eukaryotes in a way similar to prokaryotes. However, initiation is more complex, termination does not involve stem-loop structures and transcription is carried out by three enzymes (RNA polymerases I, II and III) each of which transcribes a specific set of genes and functions in a slightly different way.
