I have read a chapter of Biology and still not able to answer this question. Can someone help?

Transcription happens in the nucleus and it is when DNA is replicated into RNA.
Translation is the process of copying the mRNA. It happens in the cytoplasm. A ribosome attaches to the mRNA and a tRNA attaches to the mRNA, bringing along an amino acid. With that amino acid, it attaches to others, creating a polypeptide chain. The tRNA is then released to get another tRNA. The ribosome continues to move along the mRNA, until it read a "stop" codon.

Transcription takes place in the nucleus as the DNA is copied into RNA.
Translation takes place in the cytoplasm, specifically at the ribosomes, where the mRNA is translated into proteins.

the people answer earlier are half correct... trascription = DNA to RNA in nucleus, Translation = mRNA to Proteins.. hence the term, translating the message into proteins.. happens in the RIBOSOME..
