Question

How is gene expressed in prokaryotes ?

Answer 1

Prokaryotic transcription and translation occur simultaneously in the cytoplasm and regulation occurs at the transcriptional level

Answer 2

Answer:  

In prokaryotic cells, the gene is expressed inside the cell’s cytoplasm as there is the absence of a nucleus.  

Explanation:  

• In prokaryotes, there is no specific nucleus and in these cells, the genes are expressed in a comparatively simpler arrangement.
• The majority of the DNA and genetic material are housed within the circular chromosome in a prokaryotic cell, and at times plasmid contains the second chromosome.

• The prokaryotic cells behave in the presence of all the genes, and here the DNA gets interpreted verbatim. On occasion of a cell that does not need a certain part, it shuts off.
