Why is it that transcription & translation could be coupled in the prokaryotic cells but not in eukaryotic cells?
In prokaryotes the mRNA synthesized does not require any processing to become active both transcription & translation occurs in the same cytosol but In Eukaryotes, the primary transcript contains both exon & intron & is subjected to a process called splicing where introns are removed or exons are joined in a definite order to form mRNA.
