Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transcription involves the synthesis of mRNA from a DNA template, where the nucleotide sequence of the DNA is used to create a complementary mRNA sequence. This process does not directly produce proteins; that occurs during translation. Ribosomes drive the process of translation, not transcription, and transcription typically occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, not the cytoplasm.
