Eukaryotic organisms have their transcription occurring in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm. This means that mRNA molecules are transcribed from DNA in the nucleus and then exit the nucleus to be translated into proteins by ribosomes in the cytoplasm. This is different from prokaryotic organisms, which have their transcription and translation occurring in the same location (the cytoplasm).
