Question

In __________, the ribosomes can attach to the mRNA and begin translation even though transcription has not been completed.

1) prokaryotes
2) eukaryotes
3) fungi
4) archaea

Answer 1

In prokaryotes, ribosomes can attach to the mRNA and begin translation even though transcription has not been completed. This is not possible in eukaryotes.

Step-by-step explanation:

In prokaryotes, ribosomes can attach to the mRNA and begin translation even though transcription has not been completed. This is because transcription and translation can occur simultaneously in prokaryotic cells. In contrast, in eukaryotic cells, simultaneous transcription and translation is not possible. Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus where transcription occurs, while translation occurs in the cytoplasm.
