Where in the cell do replication translation and transcription occur?

Most of the DNA in a eukaryotic cell is in the nucleus, and that is where DNA replication and transcription occur.
In eukaryotic cells, mitochondria and chloroplastsalso contain DNA, which performs replication and transcription inside these organelles.
In prokaryotic cells there is no nucleus. The DNA is in a region of the cytoplasm called the nucleoid, and that is where DNA replication and transcription occur in these cells.

Does transcription occur in the nucleus or at the nucleoid?
Yes transcription occurs inside the nucleus of the cell.
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.
How often in the life of a cell does replication occur?
Replication occurs only once in the life of the cell.
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.
What happens to a cell if it lack the enzyme DNA polymerase?
Transcription would be affected because the binding of the enzyme RNA plymerase to the promoter of the gene is the first step of transcription.
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.
Why do you call the nucleus the brain of the cell?
It has genetic material called DNA which undergo different functions such as replication, transcription, translation
Where does Dna replication and transcription take place?
Both of these 'Distinct Processes' occur within the Cell's Nucleus.
What are the eukaryotic cell function?
-Nucleus directs the cells activities -Cell respiration takes place in mitochondria -Ribosomes manufacture proteins and take place in replication, transcription, and translation.
Where in an animal cell does DNA replication occur?
DNA replication [and transcription] takes place in the nucleus of animal Cells.
Is DNA transcription another word for DNA replication?
i believe transcription is the copying of DNA and rna and replication is the actual work being done by everything in the cell to replicate
What are the functions in cells?
-Nucleus directs the cells activities -Cell respiration takes place in mitochondria -Ribosomes manufacture proteins and take place in replication, transcription, and translation.
What are the terms used to describe all the chemical reactions that occur in a cell?
Some examples of chemical reactions that occur in the cell are cellular respiration, protein synthesis, DNA replication, and transcription.
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.
Where does transcription occur in living things?
Transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell.
