Question

Identify the correct statements about transcription(Tnx) and (Tnl) translation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

A. Prokaryotes conduct Tnx and Tnl together in the same cellular compartment.
B. Eukaryotes do Tnx in the nucleus and Tnl in the cytoplasm.
C. Tnx and Tnl occur together in the cytoplasm of Prokaryotes and Eukaryotes.
D. Tnx and Tnl both occur in the nucleus in eukaryotes and prokaryotes.

Answer 1

A and B

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct statements about transcription and translation would be that prokaryotes conduct transcription and translation together in the same cellular compartment and eukaryotes do transcription in the nucleus and translation in the cytoplasm.

Prokaryotes generally lack a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles and as such, their genetic materials lie freely within the cytoplasm. Hence, transcription and translation take place within the same cellular compartment, which is the cytoplasm.

Eukaryotes, however, have a nucleus and other membrane-bound organelles such as mitochondrion. Their genetic materials lie majorly in the nucleus. Hence, transcription takes place within the nucleus. Thereafter, the transcribed mRNA is transported to the cytoplasm where they get attached to ribosome and tRNA and translated into proteins.

The correct options are A and B.
