Answer 1

Answer:

there must be large numbers of free amino acids present in the cytoplasm

Explanation:

In order for translation to occur, there must be a large number of free amino acids in the cytoplasm.

These free amino acids are usually carried by the transfer RNA which also carries the corresponding mRNA codon.

During translation, as the codons in the mRNA match their complements in the tRNA, the amino acid being carried by the tRNA is released and a peptide bond is formed between subsequent amino acids until the required polypeptide bond is formed.

Translation and transcription only occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells where there is no barrier between the cell's genetic materials and the cytoplasm, unlike in eukaryotic cells where the genetic materials are housed in the membrane-bound nucleus.
