Replication of cellular components such as DNA takes place within the cytoplasm or nucleoid which some prokaryotes have. A nucleoid is a primitive form of a nucleus.

Where does replication of a genome take place?

genomic replication, or DNA replication, is performed by multiple enzymes that together are called a replicase. This replication takes place within the nucleus of a cell


When does DNA replication take place?

DNA replication occurs during the synthesis phase of interphase of the cell cycle.


Where does Dna replication and transcription take place?

Both of these 'Distinct Processes' occur within the Cell's Nucleus.


What stage of mitosis does replication happen in?

Replication does not take place during mitosis. It takes place before meiosis begins.


Does DNA replication start at only one place in the DNA?

What do you mean by one area? If by one area you mean does it start at one area then stop and continue on another area then no, DNA replication is continuous and when it takes place it is the most important thing going on in the cell. The cells resources are directed at this process * DNA replication means copying the entire DNA molecule, so it involves the entire molecule, but not all at the same time. In bacteria (prokaryotic cells) replication begins at one point in the molecule and continues all the way round the circular molecule.Beginning at just one place would take too long in eukaryotic cells; someone has calculated that our longest chromosomes would take about a fortnight to replicate, and we cannot wait that long! So replication begins at a number of sites along the length of the DNA molecule. At each replication site, as the DNA strands are separated there is a bulge in the molecule called a replication bubble. As replication proceeds these bubbles become longer, and eventually they merge into one another and the job is done.

Where does most of the cells growth take place in the cell cycle?

The cell cycle, or cell-division cycle, is the series of events that take place in a cell leading to its division and duplication (replication) that produces two daughter cells. In cells without a nucleus (prokaryotic), the cell cycle occurs via a process termed binary fission. In cells with a nucleus (eukaryotes), the cell cycle can be divided into three periods: interphase, the mitotic (M) phase, and cytokinesis. During interphase the cell grows, accumulating nutrients needed for mitosis preparing it for cell division and duplicating its DNA.


Where transcription of mrna take place?

In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the cell nucleus. In prokaryotic cells, which do not have a nucleus, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm.
