Which of the following does NOT represent a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription?
Select one:
a. location
b. processing
c. direction of synthesis
d. chromatin remodeling
Answer . c. Direction of synthesis does NOT represent a difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription because both prokaryotes and eukaryotes perform fundamentally the same process of transcription.
a. Prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription occur in cytoplasm and nucleus respectively
b. In prokaryotes only one type of RNA polymerase which synthesis all type of RNA in the cell (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) while in eukaryotes 3 types of RNA polymerase are in the cell (RNA polymerase I for rRNA, RNA polymerase II for mRNA and RNA polymerase III for tRNA)
d. Prokaryotic transcription does not associate with any chromatin remodelling while eukaryotic occur
