Question

In eukaryotic cells, the message from the DNA must be removed from the nucleus before it can be read and used to make proteins. However, prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus. What does this mean for protein production in these cells?

A: Protein production can occur much faster since the cell does not have to get the message stored in the DNA out of the nucleus.

B: Protein production does not happen because these kinds of cells do not have the material needed to make proteins

C: Protein production is not needed because these kinds of cells do not need proteins

D: Protein production happens much slower because these types of cells are much less complex than eukaryotic cells

Answer 1

The correct answer is A protein production can occur much faster in prokaryotic cell since the cell does not have to get the message stored in the DNA out of the nucleus.

Step-by-step explanation:

protein biosynthesis or translation occur in both Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.

In prokaryotic cell both transcription and translation occur inside the nucleus but in case of Eukaryotic cell transcription occur in the nucleus whereas translation occur in the cytoplasm.

In case of eukaryotic cell mRNA processing occurs which involves 5 prime capping, 3 prime tailing and splicing but in case prokaryotic cell no such processing occurs.

As a result protein production occur much faster in prokaryotic cell than that of eukaryotic cell.
