Do Prokaryotes Transcribe and Translate Simultaneously
The intracellular level of a bacterial protein can quickly be amplified by multiple transcription and translation events occurring concurrently on the same DNA template. That is translation begins while the mRNA is still being synthesized. Biology Genetics Gene Expression Regulation Of Gene Expression Oertx Because they both take place in the cytoplasm Before translation begins the ribosomal subunits are held apart because of the action of an AO Initiation of translation begins when the subunit establishes the reading frame by binding to the which is part of the of the mRNA. . Prokaryotic mRNAs often contain information from several genes in a series. In prokaryotes transcription and translation can occur simultaneously. This is impossible in eukaryotes where transcription occurs in a membrane-bound nucleus while translation occurs outside the nucleus in the cytoplasm. Translation is a universal process occurs in both prok...
