Question

How does prokaryotic transcription and translation differ from these processes in eukaryotic cells?

Answer 1

Answer AND Explanation:

Transcription is the synthesis of mRNA strand using RNA polymerase and DNA molecule as a primer, while translation is the synthesis of polypeptide chains that assemble to make proteins. In prokaryotic organisms, transcription and translation occurs simultaneously at the same place in cytoplasm because they lack nucleus. In eukaryotic cells, transcription and translation occur separately at different places. Transcription takes place in the nucleus where mRNA is synthesized and translation occurs at the cytosol.
