Question

What is/are the main difference(s) between prokaryotic and eukaryotic transcription regulation?

	a.	chromatin structure in eukaryotic DNA
	b.	compartmentalized transcription and translation in eukaryotes
	c.	lack of repressor elements in eukaryotic DNA
	d.	a and b
	e.	a, b, and c

Answer 1

Ans) d) a and b

Explaination: chromatin in eukaryotes have histone protein while histone are absent in chromatin of prokaryotes .

In eukaryotes compartmentalized transcription and translation occur as transcription in nucleus and translation in cytoplasm

While in prokaryotes both transcription and translation are coupled and occcur in cytosol .

Repressor protein are present in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

So , main difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes are

a) chromatin structure in eukaryotic DNA

b) compartmentalized transcription and translation in eukaryotes
