Which of the following statements about transcription and translation is most accurate in terms of compartmentalization?

Transcription occurs in the nucleolus, DNA exits through the pores, and translation occurs in the cytoplasm. Transcription and translation all occur in the nucleus; the DNA does not need to exit.
