The attachment of a mRNA molecule to a ribosome takes place in the cytoplasm of a cell.
The attachment of the ribosome enzyme to the mRNA molecule is required for the process of translation, which builds proteins. This reaction happens in the cytoplasm.
That would be the endoplasmic reticulum. It can be described as 'smooth' or 'rough'. Please refer to the Related Link for more information.
It attaches in translation.

mRNA
Transfer RNA.
The newly spliced mRNA binds to a ribosome. tRNA molecules migrate towards the ribosome, these tRNA molecules carries a specific amino acid. The ribosome allows two tRNA molecules into the ribosome at a time. The tRNA molecules have complementary anti-codons to the codons present on the mRNA strand. Two tRNA move into the ribosome and their anti-codons join to complementary codons on the mRNA strand. As one molecule leaves the ribosome, its amino acid forms a peptide bond with an amino acid on the adjacent tRNA molecule, with the help of ATP and an enzyme. As the ribosome moves along the the mRNA strand, a polypeptide chain is created. The ribosome stops reading the mRNA strand when it reaches a stop codon.
tRNA brings amino acids to the mRNA on the ribosome.

mRNA (messenger RNA) is the molecule that carries the copied code from the DNA in the nucleus to the ribosome.

The interaction between mRNA and ribosomes in the simulation is meant to reflect the process of translation that occurs in cells. During translation, the ribosome uses the information stored in the mRNA molecule to synthesize a protein. The ribosome moves along the mRNA molecule and reads its codons (sets of three nucleotides) to determine which amino acids should be added to the growing polypeptide chain. In the simulation, the mRNA molecule is represented as a linear sequence of codons, and the ribosome is represented as a moving object that recognizes and interacts with the codons. The ribosome moves along the mRNA and recognizes each codon by binding to it. This interaction is similar to what happens in real cells, where the ribosome recognizes codons by binding to specific sites on the mRNA molecule. In the simulation, the ribosome can also interact with tRNA molecules, which bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome for incorporation into the growing polypeptide chain. This is similar to what happens in real cells, where tRNA molecules bring the correct amino acids to the ribosome for use in protein synthesis. Overall, the interaction between mRNA and ribosomes in the simulation is meant to closely resemble the process of translation that occurs in cells.
Translation is the assembly of a protein molecule according to the code in an mRNA molecule. It takes place in the ribosome. tRNA brings correct amino acids to mRNA.
