Transcription is the process by which genetic information from DNA is copied into messenger RNA (mRNA). This is the first step in the expression of genes, allowing the genetic code to be used for protein synthesis.
Transcription takes place in the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, where the DNA is located. In prokaryotic cells, which lack a defined nucleus, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm, as both DNA and ribosomes are present in that compartment.
