intro
In protein synthesis, RNA (specifically mRNA - messenger RNA) is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus. Then, it moves out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm. In the cytoplasm, ribosomes (which can be free - floating or attached to the endoplasmic reticulum) use the mRNA code to synthesize proteins. So, the second blank should be filled with "cytoplasm" as that is the general location where the translation of the RNA code (to form proteins) occurs after it leaves the nucleus.
