Question

Gene expression in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is similar in many respects and different in others. Select all answers that apply to BOTH eukaryotes AND prokaryotes. (Choose three that apply) Answers: a. transcription occurs in the nucleus b. translation occurs at the ribosome c. genes contain introns d. translation occurs in the cytoplasm e. Each gene is controlled by its own promoter. f. three types of RNA molecules, tRNA, rRNA, and mRNA, are needed to accomplish protein translation g. genes are regulated by an operon. h. A 5' cap and 3' poly A tail are added.

Explanation / Answer

B, f, E are similarities in eukaryote and prokaryotic

Note- for eukaryotic transcription occur in nucleus while prokaryotic doesnot have well defined nucleus

Translation occur at ribosome in both . Post trsnacription modification occur in only eukaryotics so no cap and tail in prokaryotic mrna
