Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Where does translation occur in the cell?
A
nucleus
B
cytoplasm on a ribosome
C
Golgi body
D
cell membrane
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 nuclear envelope of eukaryotic cells separates the nucleus and cytoplasm. It is thought to partition transcription and processing of messenger RNAs (mRNAs), which occur in the nucleus, from protein synthesis (translation), which is observed in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -(1) Translation begins when a ribosome (gray) docks on a start codon (red) of an mRNA molecule in the cytoplasm. (2) Next, tRNA molecules attached to amino acids (spheres) dock at the corresponding triplet codon sequence on the mRNA molecule.
