Question

what is one difference between gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes? (1 point)
prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.
all eukaryotes use operons to organize their genes while prokaryotes do not.
eukaryotes transcribe genes in response to environmental stimuli while prokaryotes transcribe genes randomly.
prokaryotes remove exons from mrna before translation while eukaryotes translate the entire sequence of mrna.

Explanation:

• Prokaryotes are single - celled organisms without a nucleus, so their genes are not stored in a nucleus. Eukaryotes have a nucleus where genes are stored.
• Operons are mainly found in prokaryotes, not all eukaryotes use operons.
• Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes transcribe genes in response to environmental stimuli, not randomly for prokaryotes.
• Eukaryotes remove introns (not exons as stated in the wrong option) from mRNA before translation, and prokaryotes have a simpler mRNA structure without such extensive processing.

Answer:

Prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.
