Which of the following occurs in prokaryotes but not in eukaryotes?

A) post-transcriptional splicing
B) concurrent transcription and translation
C) translation in the absence of a ribosome
D) gene regulation

Respuesta :

Answer:

The correct answer is B) concurrent transcription and translation

Explanation:

In eukaryotes transcription occurs in the nucleus of the cell then this transcript is transported outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm through the nuclear pore for translation to take place because ribosomes other important enzymes are present in the cytoplasm of the cell. So nucleus separate transcription and translation in eukaryotes.

In prokaryotes there is no such membrane-bound nucleus, therefore, the prokaryotic genetic material is present in the cytoplasm of the cell and transcription and translation runs together which means translation occur simultaneously with transcription in prokaryotes.

So in prokaryotes, concurrent transcription and translation occurs, therefore, the right answer is B.
