Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Eukaryotic promoters are more complex.

2. The consensus sequence of the prokaryotic TATA box is TATAAT; and that of Eukaryotes is TATAAA.

3. In prokaryotes it is positioned between -10 and -35 upstream the transcription start site; In Eukaryotes are several kilobases from transcription start site.
