A
In lysosomes
B
In the nucleus
C
In the Golgi apparatus
D
On ribosomes in the cytosol
Verified step by step guidance1
Recall that DNA transcription is the process by which messenger RNA (mRNA) is synthesized from a DNA template.
Understand that transcription requires access to DNA, which is located inside the cell's nucleus in eukaryotic cells.
Recognize that lysosomes are involved in degradation of cellular components, not in transcription.
Know that the Golgi apparatus is responsible for modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, not for transcription.
Remember that ribosomes in the cytosol are the sites of translation, where mRNA is used to synthesize proteins, not transcription.
