In prokaryotes, translation can begin before transcription ends because
A.there is no nucleus separating the processes
B.prokaryotes skip transcription
C.prokaryotic ribosomes are larger
D.prokaryotes have no ribosomes
Explanation
Core Concept
Without a nuclear envelope, ribosomes attach to nascent mRNA immediately. Eukaryotes must first process and export the transcript.
Correct Answer
Athere is no nucleus separating the processes
