Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
At which organelles does translation take place?
A
In the nucleus
B
At the ribosomes
C
At the Golgi apparatus
D
At the mitochondria
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Where Translation Occurs. Within all cells, the translation machinery resides within a specialized organelle called the ribosome. In eukaryotes, mature mRNA molecules must leave the nucleus and travel to the cytoplasm, where the ribosomes are located.

Detailed explanation-2: -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-3: -Ribosomes and Endoplasmic Reticulum Ribosomes are the organelles responsible for protein translation and are composed of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. Some ribosomes are found in the cytoplasm, a gel-like substance that organelles float in and some are found in the rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Detailed explanation-4: -Ribosomes are essential for protein synthesis, but they are present in mitochondria and plastids, the sites of respiration and photosynthesis.
