Translation similarities:
- Both prokaryotes and eukaryotes use the same genetic code.
- They involve the use of ribosomes, tRNA, and protein factors.
Translation differences:
- Prokaryotes can couple transcription and translation, while eukaryotes separate them.
- Eukaryotic mRNA undergoes processing before translation, while prokaryotic mRNA does not.
- Ribosomes in prokaryotes and eukaryotes differ in size and composition.
- Eukaryotes often carry out more extensive post-translational modifications
