Answer:

c.) Eukaryotic DNA is more likely repaired than prokaryotic DNA.

Explanation:

Most prokaryotes have a single circular chromosome which means that they have a single copy of their genetic material. In contrast, eukaryotes have homologous chromosomes hence there are two copies of genetic material leading to more variations.
Only 1% of eukaryotic DNA is coding in nature so mutations are less likely to harm the organism which is again an advantage.
The repair mechanism though is evolved very well both in prokaryotes and eukaryotes and many of the mechanisms are also conserved. There are many checkpoints in the cell cycle where the DNA can be repaired. Hence both of them have equal chance to get repaired and eukaryotic DNA has no advantage here over prokaryotic DNA.

777dan777 [17]

The first major difference between prokaryote and eukaryote gene expression is the location. Due to lack of compartments (nucleus) prokaryotic gene expression (both transcription and translation) occurs within the cytoplasm (genetic material is located within the cytoplasm). So, transcription and translation in prokaryote occurs simultaneously. Gene expression in eukaryote occurs in both the nucleus (transcription) and cytoplasm (translation).

The steps of regulation of gene expression are also dissimilar, in prokaryotic cell, transcription is mostly the main point of regulation (eukaryote have transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation regulation together with epigenetic regulation).
