In prokaryotes, DNA is stored in the cytoplasm.
also prokaryotes have no nucleus
In prokaryotes, transcription and translation happen at the same time.

∙ 12y agoFor one, eukaryotic DNA has sections called introns that don't code for anything. They are transcribed into mRNA, but they must be removed from mRNA before translation can occur. This is accomplished by complexes of snRNPs, or small nuclear ribonucleoproteins. The mRNA therefore has to undergo processing before it can be translated.
Prokaryotic DNA lacks introns, so mRNA can be translated *immediately* after transcription. Ribosomes often line up along a strand of mRNA to being translating it, much like beads on a string, even while the mRNA is still being transcribed. That rapid-fire change from gene to mRNA to protein could never happen in eukaryotes.
During the act of translation itself, eukaryotes use ribosomes that are slightly larger and more complex than prokaryotic ribosomes. Each type of ribosome has a sedimentation number which describes when and where it settles in a centrifuge.Eukaryotic ribosomes are 80S while prokaryotic ribosomes are only 70S.

How is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eurkaryotes?
One way that protein synthesis differs between prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that gene groups that produce proteins are organized into operons in prokaryotes, but they are not organized into operons in eukaryotes. Also, protein synthesis in eukaryotes involves more protein and is a more intricate process than in prokaryotes.
Protein synthesis in eukaryotes is similar to the process in prokaryotes in that both eukaryotes and prokaryotes?
use codons to determine polypeptide sequences
Which best descirbes a difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes have no cell nucleus. Eukaryotes have a cell nucleus.
How is the DNA in prokaryotes different from from the DNA in a eukaryotes?
dna in eukaryotes is located in the nucleus
What did eukaryotes most evolve from?
Eukaryotes most likely evolved from prokaryotes.

Prokaryotes have what structure necessary for protein synthesis?
Prokaryotes have ribosomes that are necessary for protein synthesis. The ribosomes found in eukaryotes are larger compared to those found in prokaryotes.
Which best descirbes a difference between prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes have no cell nucleus. Eukaryotes have a cell nucleus.
How is the DNA in prokaryotes different from from the DNA in a eukaryotes?

Cells are grouped into?
Prokaryotes & Eukaryotes
Why is protein synthesis different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes?
In prokaryotes, DNA is stored in the cytoplasm. also prokaryotes have no nucleus In prokaryotes, transcription and translation happen at the same time.
How is a parasite different from bacteria?
Protozoans are eukaryotes. Bacteria are prokaryotes.
Is cytoplasm in eukaryotes or prokaryotes?
cytoplasm is found in both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
Is choloroplast in prokaryotes or eukaryotes?
hey are only in eukaryotes. They are never in prokaryotes.
Did the evolution of prokaryotes preceed the evolution of eukaryotes?
Prokaryotes are a lot simpler than eukaryotes so it can be assumed that prokaryotes evolved before eukaryotes.
What did eukaryotes most evolve from?
Eukaryotes most likely evolved from prokaryotes.
