Question

The reason eukaryotes have a nucleus and prokaryotes don't is (more than one is correct; mark all correct choices)

A. eukaryotes must separate transcription from translation by creating a nuclear compartment.

B. prokaryotes are primitive

C. prokaryotes have telomerase activity to compensate for the lack of a nucleus

D. eukaryotes have more DNA and need a specialized structure in which to keep it

E. eukaryotic mRNAs are not ready for translation after transcription

(I am not sure if E is true, but please tell me all of them if they are correct or not.)

(What is this nuclear compartment that option A is referring to?)

Well the statement A B C and D are correct regarding the presence of nucleus in eukaryotes not in the prokaryotes.

In option A the nuclear compartment refers to the chromatin and the nuclear bodies.
