Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the role of RNA in eukaryotic cells. RNA is crucial for various cellular processes, including protein synthesis and gene expression.
Identify the primary location of RNA synthesis. In eukaryotic cells, RNA is synthesized in the nucleus where the DNA resides.
Recognize the types of RNA involved in cellular processes. Messenger RNA (mRNA), transfer RNA (tRNA), and ribosomal RNA (rRNA) are all initially transcribed in the nucleus.
Consider the transport of RNA. After synthesis, mRNA is transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm where it is translated into proteins.
Conclude that the primary location of RNA in eukaryotic cells is the nucleus, where it is synthesized and processed before being transported to other parts of the cell.
