Here's why:
* Translation: This is the process of converting the genetic code in mRNA into a protein. Ribosomes, the protein-making machinery, are located in the cytoplasm.
* mRNA: mRNA is transcribed from DNA in the nucleus, but it then travels out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm to be translated.
* DNA Replication: This occurs in the nucleus, and it's the process of making an exact copy of the DNA molecule.
