* Replication: This process takes place in the nucleus, specifically within the chromosomes. Replication is the process of copying the DNA molecule.
* Transcription: Also occurring in the nucleus, transcription is the process of creating an RNA molecule (specifically messenger RNA or mRNA) from a DNA template.
* Translation: This process occurs in the cytoplasm at the ribosomes. Translation uses the mRNA to assemble a chain of amino acids, ultimately forming a protein.
