Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Translation occurs:
A
Outside of the Nucleus
B
Inside of the Nucleus
C
Either A or B
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Translation occurs outside the nucleus once nuclear processing of the pre-mRNA is complete and the mRNA molecules have been transported to the cytoplasm via nuclear pores.

Detailed explanation-2: -Prokaryotic transcription occurs in the cytoplasm alongside translation. Prokaryotic transcription and translation can occur simultaneously. This is impossible in eukaryotes, where transcription occurs in a membrane-bound nucleus while translation occurs outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm.

Detailed explanation-3: -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.
