Eukaryotic organisms and prokaryotic organisms differ in how gene information is processed.Select the statement that best explains this difference.
A)Prokaryote genes are transcribed into mRNA,which is translated immediately.Eukaryote genes contain long sequences of nucleotides that do not code for amino acids and have to be removed from the primary transcript.
B)Prokaryote genes are transcribed directly into a polypeptide,while eukaryote genes have mRNA and tRNA involved in polypeptide assembly.
C)Prokaryote genes are translated before being transcribed into mRNA.Eukaryotic genes are transcribed into mRNA and then translated.
D)Prokaryote genes are edited of all introns before being transcribed into mRNA,while eukaryotic genes are edited after mRNA formation.

Question

Prokaryotic genes are transcribed into mRNA, which is immediately translated. Eukaryotic genes contain long stretches of non-coding nucleotides called introns which need to be removed from the primary transcript before translation can occur. This process is known as RNA splicing.
