Answer:

By Controlling transcription

Step-by-step explanation:

Prokaryotic cells regulate their gene expression by controlling the amount of transcription. This is the only way of regulating the gene expression.

Unlike the prokaryotic cell, in eukaryotic cell, different compartments were formed for carrying out different cellular processes. Later on, transcription and translation were physically separated and were carried out in two different cellular compartments
