What process is happening in the image and what is being produced?

• Replication --> DNA

• Transcription --> mRNA

• Translation --> Proteins

Why must transcription occur in the nucleus?

• because DNA can't leave the nucleus

• because ribosomes are in the nucleus

• because DNA polymerase is found there

• because helicase unzips the DNA
