Understand that transcription is the process of synthesizing RNA from a DNA template.
Recognize that in eukaryotic cells, the DNA is housed within the nucleus, which is a membrane-bound organelle.
Recall that transcription occurs where the DNA is located, as the DNA serves as the template for RNA synthesis.
Identify that the nucleus is the site where transcription takes place in eukaryotic cells, as it contains the necessary machinery and environment for this process.
Differentiate between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells, noting that in prokaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm due to the absence of a nucleus.
