Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Concurrent transcription and translation occurs in prokaryotes, but not in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, the ribosomes can begin translating the mRNA while it is still being transcribed from DNA. In eukaryotes, transcription and translation take place in different locations and cannot occur simultaneously.

Note: A, C, and D occur in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
