A key difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic translation is that prokaryotes:
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Couple transcription and translation simultaneously
In prokaryotes, transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm because there is no nuclear membrane separating the two processes. Eukaryotes must export mRNA to the cytoplasm before translation begins.
