Verified step by step guidance

Understand the location of each process: Transcription, DNA replication, and RNA processing occur in the nucleus, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
Transcription is the process where the DNA sequence is copied into mRNA, and it takes place in the nucleus.
DNA replication is the process of copying the entire DNA molecule, which also occurs in the nucleus.
RNA processing involves modifying the newly synthesized mRNA, such as splicing, capping, and adding a poly-A tail, and this occurs in the nucleus.
Translation is the process where ribosomes in the cytoplasm synthesize proteins using the mRNA sequence, and it does not occur in the nucleus.
