Video transcript

Hey everyone. Let's take a look at this question. Together in eukaryotic transcription process happens inside the blank and the translation process happens inside the plank. Let's recall what we know about the central dogma of life specifically for eukaryotes. To try to figure out which of the following pairs best describes where transcription and translation occur in eukaryotic cells. So we know that the process of transcription is converting from D. N. A. To R N. A. And we know that in eukaryotes, the D N. A. Is found inside of the nucleus. And we know that the translation process is the process of converting that messenger RNA A. Into proteins, which we know that when we're dealing with the M. R. N. A. And converting it to proteins. That happens in the ribosomes which we know that in eukaryotic cells ribosomes exist freely in the sido plasm. Which would make answer choice a. The correct answer because we know that transcription happens inside of the nucleus where the D. N. A. Is. And the process of translation occurs in the cytoplasm, thus making answer choice. A The correct answer. I hope you found this video to be helpful. Thank you and goodbye
