Yes, DNA replication occurs in the nucleus.imqt said:oh ok thanks 4 clearing some things up....and DNA REPLICATION occurs in the nucleus, while PROTEIN SYNTHESIS occurs in ribosomes?
Protein synthesis consists of two steps - transcription and translation.
The first step, transcription occurs in the nucleus where DNA transcribes its code to a sequence of bases in mRNA.
The second step, translation occurs in the cytoplasm, where a ribosome moves along the mRNA and specific amino acids are delivered by tRNA molecules to produce a polypeptid
