Question

Which of the following is a true statement? (1 point)

DNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and RNA is translated in the cytoplasm.
RNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and proteins are translated in the cytoplasm.
DNA is translated in the nucleus, and RNA is transcribed in the cytoplasm.
RNA is translated in the nucleus, and proteins are transcribed in the cytoplasm

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is- DNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and RNA is translated in the cytoplasm.

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of living organisms that contains genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences.

DNA gets transcribed ( in the nucleus of eukaryotic organisms) to form mRNA (messenger RNA).

mRNA gets converted into particular protein (in the cytoplasm of the cell) through a process called translation.

Thus, first statement is the true statement.

Answer 2

The DNA does not leave the nucleus - when the cell wants to access the information in the DNA, it makes a copy of it - transcribes it - and and sends this copy to the cytoplasm, where it (this copy is RNA) is translated.

So the correct answer is:
DNA is transcribed in the nucleus, and RNA is translated in the cytoplasm.
