Draw a eukaryotic gene with two exons and include its premRN

Draw a eukaryotic gene with two exons and include its pre-mRNA and mRNA products. Label all important features.

Now that you know about eukaryotic transcripts, how would a prokaryote differ in this process?

exon intron transcription start RNA processing m G-P.P.P translation stop 5 UT translation start 3 UT termination site (polyadenylation signal)

Solution

In prokaryotes, transcription take place in cytoplasm while in eukaryotes it takes place in nucleus. Also in prokaryotes mRNA is ready for translation with no post translation modification required which is not the case in eukaryortes.
