In eukaryotic cell transcription, RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside the

• A. ER
• B. Ribosomes
• C. Nucleus
• D. Dictyosomes

Answer 1

The correct option is C Nucleus

In eukaryotic cell transcription, RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside the nucleus. The processed mRNA then transported to the cytoplasm (i.e., mature mRNA) where they can be translated by the ribosome. The translation may occur at ribosomes cytoplasm or directed to the endoplasmic reticulum by the signal recognition particle. Because eukaryotic transcription and translation are compartmentally separated, eukaryotic mRNAs must be exported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm.
