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.
  Transcription is the rewriting of the DNA into mRNA, which occurs on the DNA coils in the nucleus (but not the nucleolus). Translation is the process of converting the â¦ mRNA into a protein strand, which occurs on the ribosomes either in the cytoplasm or on the rough endoplasmic reticulum. In eukaryotic cells, transcription occurs in the nucleus from which the transcript it transported to the cytoplasm where translation occurs.     In prokaryotic ce â¦ lls, transcription and translation both take place in the cytoplasm. + 15 others found this useful.
