How does prokaryotic transcription and translation differ from these processes in eukaryotic cells?
A) Because there is no nucleus, the DNA code is translated directly at the ribosome.
B) In prokaryotic cells, both transcription and translation take place at the ribosomes.
C) In prokaryotic cells, both transcription and translation take place in the cytoplasm because there are no cellular organelles.
D) Because there is no nucleus, prokaryotic transcription takes place in the cytoplasm and translation takes place at the ribosomes.

The genome of prokaryotes has no introns hence their mRNA does not need splicing like in eukaryotic cells. Also, because the genome of prokaryotes is not delimited from the cytoplasm by a nuclear membrane, ribosomes can attach to the elongating mRNA during transcription and begin translation. Therefore translation of mRNA occurs concurrently with transcription which cannot happen with eukaryotic cells.

In the nucleus of eukaryotic cells, transcription results to a nascent mRNA which is spliced into a mature mRNA.The mature mRNA has to travel outside the nucleus to the cytoplasm to be translated by ribosomes.
