The speed of DNA replication in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells
DIFFERS because:
A.) prokaryotic cells don’t use a double helix structure to
store their nucleotides
B.) smaller genomes allow prokaryotes to rapidly copy their
chromosome and reproduce
C.) eukaryotes replicate their DNA from a single location along
the strand
D.) eukaryotic DNA is more accessible for DNA polymerase and
other replication-related proteins
There are three (3) types of RNA in prokaryotic cells. What are
the types and how are these molecules synthesized? Compare and
contrast RNA synthesis in prokaryotes to that of eukaryotes.
Why is it important to be aware of the differences between
prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells when using prokaryotic
models to study eukaryotic cellular processes or
molecules?
How does transcription in prokaryotic cells differ from transcription in eukaryotic cells? List at least ten transcriptional processes (from primary transcript to mature RNA molecule) that eukaryotes need but prokaryotes do not
