Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the process of translation: Translation is the process by which the genetic code carried by mRNA is decoded to produce a specific polypeptide or protein.
Identify the cellular location: Translation occurs in the ribosome, which is the cellular machinery responsible for protein synthesis.
Differentiate between cellular organelles: The Golgi apparatus is involved in modifying, sorting, and packaging proteins, not in translation. Mitochondria are involved in energy production, and the nucleus is where transcription occurs, not translation.
Recognize the role of ribosomes: Ribosomes can be found floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum, and they are the sites where translation takes place.
Conclude with the correct answer: Based on the understanding of cellular functions, translation takes place in the ribosome.
