Where does DNA transcription take place? DNA transcription takes place in the nucleus of a cell, which is where DNA is located. The process begins when the enzyme RNA polymerase hooks itself to a specific sequence found on the DNA at a place called the promoter region.
Only occurring in a cell once per (cell) generation, DNA replication in humans occurs at a rate of 50 nucleotides per second, 500/second in prokaryotes. Nucleotides have to be assembled and available in the nucleus, along with energy to make bonds between nucleotides.
