Does Translation Occur in the Endoplasmic Reticulum

In eukaryotes, translation occurs in the cytoplasm or across the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum in a process called co-translational translocation. … Many types of transcribed RNA, such as transfer RNA, ribosomal RNA, and small nuclear RNA, do not undergo translation into proteins.

Does translation occur in the cytoplasm or endoplasmic reticulum?

Translation occurs on ribosomes in the cytoplasm or rough endoplasmic reticulum.

Does transcription occur in the endoplasmic reticulum?

Transcription occurs in the nucleus in eukaryotic organisms, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm and endoplasmic reticulum. Both processes occur in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes. The factor controlling these processes is RNA polymerase in transcription and ribosomes in translation.
