Prokaryotic and eukaryotic RNA's differ in that:
ribosomal subunits have different percentages of rRNA to protein | ||
Eukaryotes have a pre-mRNA that requires splicing to create the functional transcript | ||
Prokaryotes have non-coding sequences that are removed during RNA-transcript processing | ||
Eukaryotes have ribosomes consisting of only one subunit. |
1. In eukaryotes, ribosomes are roughly 40 percent protein and 60 percent rRNA. Whereas in prokaryotes, 30 percent protein and 50 percent rRNA is present.
2 . Eukaryotic mRNA have introns (non coding sequence) and exons (coding sequence) parts . In splicing, introns are removes and exons are joined before translation.
But prokaryotic mRNA ave only exon part so do not need RNA splicing before Translation.
