Answer:

B. outside the nucleus; inside the nucleus

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's understand what Translation and Transcription is.

*I can go more indepth if asked. *

Translation: - Converting the codons in the mRNA molecule into amino acids.

Transcription: - Converting DNA sequences or codons into RNA sequences or codons.

Now, since transcription takes the DNA and converts it into RNA.

Transcription would have to take place where DNA is.

DNA occurs in the nucleus because of DNA replication.

Translation occurs in the cytoplasm.

Translation is when it takes the mRNA(messenger RNA) converted from the DNA into the cytoplasm for the ribosomes to read the genetic information.

Where is the ribosome?

Ribosomes are in the cytoplasm, outside of the nucleus.

Therefore, it is B.

Hope that helped :)
