Which of the following statements about translation is FALSE: Translation occurs simultaneously as transcription in prokaryotic organisms Translation in eukaryotic organisms occurs after mRNA maturation. Translation can occur in regulatory and structural genes. Translation occurs more often in prokaryotic than in eukaryotic organisms

Step 1
Translation occurs simultaneously as transcription in prokaryotic organisms: TRUE. In prokaryotes, translation can begin while the mRNA is still being transcribed because they lack a nuclear membrane. Show more…

Which of the following are true of both eukaryotic and prokaryotic translation? (CHOOSE ALL THAT APPLY) They both utilize small and large ribosomal subunits in the process of translation. Transcription occurs in the cytoplasm. Transcripts can be poly-cistronic (contain multiple genes on one transcript). Splicing must take place before translation. Transcription and Translation can occur simultaneously.

Which statement about translation is false? Translation is RNA-directed polypeptide synthesis An mRNA molecule typically carries information to translate 3 or more different genes at the same time The same genetic code operates in almost all organisms and organelles A covalent bond is formed between the incoming amino acid and the polypeptide chain There are both start and stop codons
The following statements relate to transcription and/or translation. Which of them are FALSE? Mark ALL possible correct answers. Note: "Transcribe" means undergoes transcription. Eukaryotes transcribe DNA in the nucleus. Eukaryotes translate DNA in the cytoplasm. Prokaryotes can transcribe and translate simultaneously. Following transcription but BEFORE translation, intron-derived sequences need to be removed from the transcribed RNA in eukaryotes. This is not required in prokaryotes. Prokaryotes transcribe DNA in the nucleus.
