Eukaryotic and prokaryotic organisms differ in how they process genetic information. Which statements best explain one of these differences?
A. In prokaryotes, translation occurs before genes are transcribed into mRNA. In eukaryotes, genes are transcribed into mRNA that is then translated into polypeptides.
B. In prokaryotes, introns are removed before genes are transcribed into mRNA. In eukaryotes, introns are removed after genes are transcribed into mRNA.
C. In prokaryotes, translation of the mRNA begins before transcription is complete. In eukaryotes, transcription and modification of the mRNA is completed before translation begins.
D. In prokaryotes, genes are transcribed directly into polypeptides. In eukaryotes, genes are transcribed into RNA that is used to assemble polypeptides.
