Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the statements provided are true regarding translation in eukaryotic cells. In eukaryotes, transcription and translation are spatially separated, with transcription occurring in the nucleus and translation occurring in the cytoplasm. Eukaryotic mRNAs are typically monocistronic, meaning they usually carry the information for a single protein. Transcription indeed occurs in the nucleus, where the DNA is located. Lastly, primary transcripts do undergo processing (such as splicing, 5' capping, and polyadenylation) to become mature mRNAs ready for translation.
