Transcription and Translation in Cells. In a prokaryotic cell, transcription and translation are coupled; that is, translation begins while the mRNA is still being synthesized. In a eukaryotic cell, transcription occurs in the nucleus, and translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Answer:

Transcription occurs in the nucleus in Eukaryotic cells.

In prokaryotic cells it occurs in cytoplasm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription is first step in gene expression, in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.

DNA and transcription machinery is present in the nucleus of cell that's why transcription occurs in nucleus.
