no, because without rna, the body would not be able to do protein synthesis [ transcription and translation], and without proteins their would be no gene expression because genes code for proteins which then carry out the specific expression or trait.

but has this been irrevocably been proven. there could be genes or parts of DNA that express them trough other means than RNA. It would be hard to prove that all DNA is expressed trough RNA, because that mean checking every single gene. Although I concur that most Genes will be expressed through RNA we cannot be a 100% sure

For a short time from fertilization into the early stages of embryo development in Drosophila melanogaster there is no transcription of any genes in the embryo, so yes.

Does transcription occur in the nucleus or at the nucleoid?

Yes transcription occurs inside the nucleus of the cell.


When does transcription begins prokaryotic cell?

In Prokaryotic Cells transcription and translation can occur simultaneously, but transcription happens after a transcription initiation complex has been formed.


Where do transcription and translation occur in prokaryotic cells?

It occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell. Transcription and translation occur in prokaryotes at the same time because of the lack of nuclear membrane.RNA polymerase transcribes through the terminator sequence, causing the polymerase to fall off the DNA and release the transcript.


Is the process in which DNA's genetic code is copied onto messenger RNA molecules known as translation?

Nope. Transcription first, then translation. They occur in alphabetical order. The DNA is copied into RNA in transcription. The RNA is translated into protein in translation.


Where in the cell does transcription and translation happen?

In prokaryotes (cells without nuclei), both transcription makes RNA from DNA and translation makes proteins from mRNA in the cytoplasm. In eukaryotes (cells with nuclei), transcription occurs in the nucleus, while translation occurs in the ribosomes of the cytoplasm.


Transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in bacteria because?

Because there are no nuclei in bacteria and both transcription and translation are carried out in cytoplasm. Ribosomes can bind to mRNAs that are being transcribed.

What are the two main stages in the synthesis of proteins and where does each occur?

The two main stages in the synthesis of proteins are transcription and translation. Transcription occurs inside the nucleus and translation will take place in the ribosomes within the cytoplasm.


Where does translation occure in prokaryotic?

In prokaryotes, the processes of transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, allowing for a rapid cellular response to an environmental cue.
