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: -In eukaryotic cells the translation process is organized and catalyzed with the help of ribosomes which are found in cytoplasm. For the process to start messenger RNA is released from the nucleus into external cytoplasm and this is the reason why translation happens in cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-3: -Recall that in eukaryotes, translation can occur either in the cytoplasm or on the rough ER. Membrane and secretory proteins are synthesized in ribosomes on the rough ER whereas the cytosolic proteins are synthesized in ribosomes in cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-4: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus whereas the major mRNA decay pathways operate in the cytoplasm.
Detailed explanation-5: -Transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic organisms, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum. Both processes occur in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes.
