The site for transcription and translation are cell nucleus and cell cytoplasm respectively.
Explanation:
In molecular biology and genetics , translation is the process in which ribosomes in a cells cytoplasm create proteins, following transcription of DNA and RNA in the cell's nucleus. This entire process is a part of gene expression.
Transcription is the first step in gene expression , in which a particular segment of DNA is copied into RNA by the enzyme RNA polymerase.
In translation mRNA is decoded by a ribosome to produce a specific amino acid chain or polypeptide.
