Answer:

Ocean currents can be caused by wind, density differences in water masses caused by temperature and salinity variations, gravity, and events such as earthquakes or storms.

Explanation:

... Surface wind-driven currents generate upwelling currents in conjunction with landforms, creating deepwater currents.

The winds pull surface water with them, creating currents. As these currents flow westward, the Coriolis effect—a force that results from the rotation of the Earth—deflects them. ... In contrast to wind-driven surface currents, deep-ocean currents are caused by differences in water density.

Papessa [141]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The central dogma gives a description of how genetic information travels in biological cells from DNAs to proteins. DNAs are first transcribed into messenger RNAs in a process known as transcription and the resulting mRNAs are used in the synthesis of proteins in a process known as translation.

In eukaryotic cells, transcription process happens within the confines of the nucleus because the genetic material in the form of DNAs are always located in the nucleus. Thereafter, the mRNAs generated from transcription are transported to the cytoplasm of the cell where they become translated into proteins.

Hence;

Transcription happens in the nucleus of the cell.

Translation happens in the cytoplasm of the cell.
