Answer:

This question is not complete as it lacks options. However, it can be answered by giving the general differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic transcription.

Step-by-step explanation:

Eukaryotes are organisms that possess a membrane-bound nucleus that harbors their genetic material while prokaryotes are organisms that lack a membrane-bound nucleus.

Transcription is the process whereby a DNA template is used to produce an mRNA molecule. Below are the common differences in the transcription of eukaryotic and prokaryotic:

- Transcription in eukaryoric cell occurs in a NUCLEUS while transcription in prokaryotic cell takes place in a CYTOPLASM

- Transcription in eukaryotic cell requires proteins called TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS while transcription in prokaryotic cell does not require TRANSCRIPTION FACTORS.

- Transcription in eukaryotic cells occurs differently from translation while transcription in prokaryotic cells is coupled with translation i.e occur simultaneously.
