Verified step by step guidance
1
Understand that genetic information in eukaryotic cells is stored in the DNA within the nucleus.
Recognize that the process of transferring genetic information from the nucleus to the cytoplasm involves transcription.
During transcription, a specific segment of DNA is copied into RNA, specifically messenger RNA (mRNA).
The mRNA then exits the nucleus through the nuclear pores and enters the cytoplasm.
In the cytoplasm, the mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis during translation, thus transferring the genetic information needed for protein production.
