where does transcription occur in a prokaryotic cell?
Transcription is the process of coding for RNA along genetic sequence of DNA. In prokaryotes it occurs along the circular DNA lying in nucleoid region within cell. Prokaryotic cells lack nucleus. Inside the prokaryotic cell cytoplasm a naked DNA is present: the prokaryotic DNA is double helical and circular. The area within prokaryotic cytoplasm is called nucleoid where this circular DNA is present.
