Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of the cell, specifically on the ribosomes. Here’s a brief overview:

• Translation is the process by which the genetic code carried by messenger RNA (mRNA) is decoded to produce a specific sequence of amino acids, resulting in a polypeptide or protein.
• This process takes place on ribosomes , which can be found either floating freely in the cytoplasm or attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
• Ribosomes read the mRNA sequence and, with the help of transfer RNA (tRNA), assemble amino acids in the correct order to form proteins.

If you want, I can also explain the steps of translation or how ribosomes function!
