Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In eukaryotes protein synthesis happens in
A
cytoplasm
B
nucleus
C
cytoplasm and nucleus
D
none
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -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 ). The molecule of mRNA then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs.

Detailed explanation-2: -In eukaryotic cells, protein synthesis takes place mostly in the cytoplasm. Protein synthesis is done by ribosomes, therefore, protein synthesis takes place where ribosomes are present.

Detailed explanation-3: -In eukaryotes, ribosomes get their orders for protein synthesis from the nucleus, where portions of DNA (genes) are transcribed to make messenger RNAs (mRNAs). An mRNA travels to the ribosome, which uses the information it contains to build a protein with a specific amino acid sequence.
