In __________,the ribosomes can attach to the mRNA and begin translation even though transcription has not been completed.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prokaryotes are known to have coupled transcription and translation, where ribosomes can attach to mRNA and begin translation before transcription is complete. This is because prokaryotes lack a nuclear membrane, and thus, transcription and translation occur in the same compartment. In contrast, eukaryotes have a separate location for transcription and translation, with transcription occurring in the nucleus and translation happening in the cytoplasm. Fungi and archaea can be prokaryotic or eukaryotic, so their inclusion in the answer choices does not provide enough information to determine the correct answer.
