Transcription occurs in the nucleus, whereas translation occurs in the
cytoplasm.
Explanation:
Terms transcriptionand translation in biology are generally related to the DNA and its
properties. Human cells replicate. In order to do that, they have to
produce the same constituents for the new cell that is to be made. The only
way to do that is by producing proteins. The proteins are produced in the
process that is called protein synthesis. The first step is in the nucleus
where a particular gene is being expressed so it enables all protein
factors to come and to replicate that part of a chromosome. This is
finished when mRNA, the same single-stranded genetic code of a particular
gene, is formed. This is transcription.Right after that, the mRNA enters
the cytoplasm through nuclear pores. There, it could be translated into
proteins by ribosomes. This process is called translation.
