Transcription occurs in the nucleus and translation occurs in the cytoplasm of a eukaryotic cell.

In a eukaryotic cell, transcription and translation occurs separately. Transcription occurs in the nucleus to produce the pre-mRNA molecule. The molecule is then processed into a mature mRNA. It makes its way out of the nucleus and then it is translated in the cytoplasm.
