Answer:

A few aspects of protein synthesis are actually less complex in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, mRNA is polycistronic and may carry several genes that are translated to give several proteins. In eukaryotes, each mRNA is monocistronic and carries only a single gene, which is translated into a single protein.
