In eukaryotic cell transcription, RNA splicing and RNA capping take place inside the:
Correct answer: B. Nucleus
- A. Ribosomes
- B. Nucleus
- C. Dictyosomes
- D. Endoplasmic Reticulum
Explanation
Unlike in prokaryotes, where transcription and translation take place in the same compartment, in eukaryotes, the primary transcript is first processed in the nucleus and then transported outside of the nucleus. Since the primary transcripts of the eukaryotes contain both the expressed genes (exons) and non-expressing genes (introns), they undergo splicing of introns and later capping and tailing at the 5' and 3' ends respectively.

About Chromosomes
Chromosomes are DNA-protein structures that carry genes and become visible during cell division. Coverage includes chromatin, centromeres, sister chromatids, homologous chromosomes, chromosome number, and the distinction between diploid and haploid cells, with links to DNA replication, mitosis and meiosis.
