DNA Transcription
Multiple Choice
In a typical eukaryotic cell, the organelle in which DNA transcription (synthesis of RNA from a DNA template) primarily takes place is the:
A
Ribosome
B
Nucleus
C
Golgi apparatus
D
Mitochondrion
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of transcription: it is the synthesis of RNA from a DNA template.
Recall that in eukaryotic cells, DNA is located primarily in the nucleus, where transcription occurs.
Identify the organelle options given: Ribosome, Nucleus, Golgi apparatus, and Mitochondrion.
Know that ribosomes are the sites of translation (protein synthesis), not transcription.
Recognize that the Golgi apparatus is involved in protein modification and sorting, and mitochondria are involved in energy production, so neither is the site of transcription.
