Answer:

In prokaryotic cells, there is no nucleus so transcription happens in the cytoplasm since that is where the DNA is.

Answer:

Nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

Transcription takes place in the nucleus. It uses DNA as a template to make an RNA molecule. RNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. Translation reads the genetic code in mRNA and makes a protein.
