Question
why is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
a. prokaryotes have no ribosomes.
b. prokaryotes have no nucleus.
c. prokaryotes have no proteins.
d. prokaryotes have no dna.
Protein synthesis involves transcription (DNA - to - RNA) and translation (RNA - to - protein). In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotes lack a nucleus, so transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm, making protein synthesis different. Prokaryotes have ribosomes for protein synthesis, proteins, and DNA.
