Gene expression might be altered based on post-transcriptional processing in eukaryotes rather than prokaryotes.Which of the following statements describes this difference?
A)Eukaryotic mRNAs get 5' caps and 3' tails.
B)Prokaryotic genes are expressed as mRNA,which is more stable in the cell.
C)Eukaryotic exons may be spliced in alternative patterns.
D)Prokaryotes use ribosomes of different structure and size.
