Why is transcription in eukaryotes more complex than in prokaryotes?
A)Compared to a few thousand genes in prokaryotes,eukaryotes have larger genomes and tens of thousands of genes to be transcribed.
B)Transcription and translation takes place in the same cellular compartment in prokaryotes but in different compartments in eukaryotes.
C)The template for transcription in prokaryotes is simple and exists as naked DNA,whereas the eukaryotic template is organized into a highly condensed chromatin structure.
D)All of the answer options are correct.
E)Eukaryotes have larger genomes and more genes than prokaryotes,and their genomes are organized into a highly condensed chromatin structure.

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All the provided options contribute to the complexity of transcription in eukaryotes compared to prokaryotes. Eukaryotes have larger genomes with more genes, their DNA is organized into chromatin, and their transcription and translation processes are compartmentalized, adding layers of regulation and complexity not found in prokaryotes.
