Question

Mention the difference in the site of transcription in a prokaryote and eukaryote cell.

Hint:

In eukaryotes, transcription and translation are compartmentalized processes, while in prokaryotes, they occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm.

Answer 1

- In prokaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm. 
- In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus. 
- Prokaryotes lack a defined nucleus, so transcription occurs directly in the cytoplasm where translation can occur simultaneously. 
- Eukaryotes have a defined nucleus where transcription occurs, separating it from translation which happens in the cytoplasm.
