Explanation:

Question 1 (Where does translation occur?):
Brief Explanations

Translation is the process of protein synthesis. Ribosomes are the cellular structures where amino acids are assembled into proteins based on mRNA instructions. Mitochondria and chloroplasts have their own translation machinery but the primary site of translation in a cell (for nuclear - encoded genes) is ribosomes. The nucleus is where transcription (not translation) occurs for nuclear genes.

Brief Explanations

Translation is the process of converting the genetic code in mRNA into a sequence of amino acids, which then fold into a protein molecule. mRNA is produced during transcription, lipids are not produced by translation, and tRNA is involved in bringing amino acids but is not the end product of translation.

Brief Explanations

tRNA (transfer RNA) has an anticodon that pairs with the codon on mRNA and carries the corresponding amino acid to the ribosome, where it is added to the growing polypeptide chain. tRNA does not carry DNA out of the nucleus (DNA doesn't leave the nucleus in this way), ribosomes are made of rRNA and proteins (not tRNA), and tRNA is not involved in producing mRNA (that's transcription and involves RNA polymerase).

Answer:

b. at a ribosome
