"RNA leaves the nucleus during the process and DNA remains in the nucleus."

Explanation: In eukaryotes, DNA stays in the nucleus as the template for transcription; mRNA (a type of RNA) exits to the cytoplasm where ribosomes translate it into protein. (In prokaryotes there is no nucleus, so transcription and translation occur in the same compartment.)
