What is a transcription and where does it occur?

In: Biology, Genetics [Edit categories]

Answer:

transcription is the act of DNA being 'transcribed' into mRNA inside the nucleus. Afterwards, the head and tail of the mRNA get capped with a poly-A tail and a 5 prime cap in RNA processing, so that the mRNA doesnt get recognizede as a dangerous molecule. There, it is then shipped of out of the nucleus where the mRNA gets translated into tRNA in the ribosome to produce amino acids which will eventually be turned into proteins
