Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of these processes happen in the on a ribosome in the cytoplasm of a Eukaryotic cell?
A
DNA Replication
B
Transcription
C
Translation
D
None of them
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In molecular biology and genetics, translation is the process in which ribosomes in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum synthesize proteins after the process of transcription of DNA to RNA in the cell’s nucleus. The entire process is called gene expression.

Detailed explanation-2: -An mRNA travels to the ribosome, which uses the information it contains to build a protein with a specific amino acid sequence. This process is called translation.

Detailed explanation-3: -For example, rapidly growing cells usually have a large number of ribosomes (Figure 5). Ribosomes are complexes of rRNA molecules and proteins, and they can be observed in electron micrographs of cells. Sometimes, ribosomes are visible as clusters, called polyribosomes.

Detailed explanation-4: -Translation is the process of protein synthesis and occurs on ribosomes where mRNA come from the nucleus and attached to the ribosome and in the presence of ribozyme and tRNA in ribosome mRNA translates the codon for protein synthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -This process is called protein synthesis, and it actually consists of two processes-transcription and translation . In eukaryotic cells, transcription takes place in the nucleus . During transcription, DNA is used as a template to make a molecule of messenger RNA ( mRNA ).
