DNA MAKES RNA MAKES PROTEIN

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Translation takes place in the
A
ribosome
B
chloroplast
C
nucleus
D
mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation takes place on ribosomes in the cell cytoplasm, where mRNA is read and translated into the string of amino acid chains that make up the synthesized protein.

Detailed explanation-2: -The mRNA then carries the genetic information from the DNA to the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. During translation, proteins are made using the information stored in the mRNA sequence. The mRNA attaches to a structure called a ribosome that can read the genetic information.

Detailed explanation-3: -Translation takes place inside structures called ribosomes, which are made of RNA and protein. Ribosomes organize translation and catalyze the reaction that joins amino acids to make a protein chain.

Detailed explanation-4: -IS THE TRANSLATION MACHINERY PRESENT IN THE NUCLEUS? For nuclear translation to occur, essential components such as ribosomes, tRNAs, and translation factors must be present in the nucleus, in addition to the mRNA.
