Question

Besides lacking enzymes for rna editing describe how the lack of compartments in a prokaryotic cell results in a difference in gene expression from what was described in eukaryotic cells

Answer 1

The first major difference between prokaryote and eukaryote gene expression is the location. Due to lack of compartments (nucleus) prokaryotic gene expression (both transcription and translation) occurs within the cytoplasm (genetic material is located within the cytoplasm). So, transcription and translation in prokaryote occurs simultaneously. Gene expression in eukaryote occurs in both the nucleus (transcription) and cytoplasm (translation).

The steps of regulation of gene expression are also dissimilar, in prokaryotic cell, transcription is mostly the main point of regulation (eukaryote have transcription, post-transcription, translation, and post-translation regulation together with epigenetic regulation).

Answer 2

Unlike eukaryotes, gene expression in prokaryotes linvolving transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm alone.

What are prokaryotes?

Prokaryotes are organisms who do not have a definite nucleus enclosed within a nuclear membrane.

Prokaryotes have only one possible point of gene regulation in the operons.

Because prokaryotes lack a cellular compartments, gene expression in proakarotes does not occur various levels rather it occurs at cytoplasm at the transcription and translation level simultaneously.
