Transcription creates an RNA copy of the gene coding for the desired protein. Since the DNA is always sequestered in the nucleus (except during nuclear division, a.k.a. mitosis), transcription necessarily takes place in the nucleus as well.
Translation synthesizes the protein (more precisely, a polypeptide precursor of that protein) using amino acids, which are generated and stored in the cytoplasm of the cell. Furthermore, the machinery required, ribosomes, is also located there. Therefore, translation necessarily takes place in the cytoplasm.

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.
The copying of the DNA code onto RNA is called?
Transcription
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.
Transcription and translation are the two processes necessary to change RNA to protein RNA to DNA DNA to RNA DNA to protein?
Transcription and translation are the two processes necessary to build a protein based upon genetic information within DNA. Transcription is the term used for the construction of a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule based on the DNA template. Translation refers to the processes of building a protein based upon the mRNA template.
What occurs during translation but not during transcription?
Transcription is the formation of mRNA from DNA whereas translation is the synthesis of protein from RNA.

Does transcription occur in DNA or RNA?
Transcription occurs in DNA to produce mRNA.

What is the process called when DNA is copied into messenger RNA?

What is the process of forming RNA from DNA called?
If the RNA is messenger RNA (mRNA), the process is called transcription.There are other types of RNA that are synthesized using DNA as a template, such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA). Unlike mRNA, these are gene products, and the term "transcription" is not used when they are made.
What is the path from a gene to a trait?
DNA-Transcription-RNA-Translation-Protein-Trait
What are the end results in transcription and translation?
Transcription yields a strand of messenger RNA, which then goes to the ribosomes, where it undergoes translation by transfer RNA, and the absolute end result is a protein.
What is the difference between translation and tanscription?
When the information is decode from DNA to RNA then it is said Transcription. When the information is decoded from RNA to Amino acid then it is said to be Transcription.
What two steps must occur in protein synthesis?
The two main steps in protein syntheis are transcriptionand translation. In transcription, the enzyme RNA Polymerase uses a DNA strand as a template to make a transcript of messenger RNA. This transcript is then translated into protein by the ribosome.
