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.
Explanation:
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.
