  2. Prokaryotic and Eukaryotic Replication C A E B G F D • In prokaryotic cells, replication starts at a single site. • In eukaryotic cells, replication starts at many sites along the chromosome.

  3. Eukaryotes vs. Prokaryotes • Since Eukaryotes have a Double-Helix structure, the ends of the DNA strand are cut off during replication which only cuts off the telomeres • Telomeres are at the ends of DNA and protect the important DNA from being cut off but as you get older, the telomeres begin to run out • However prokaryotes are circular so they do not have the ends of their DNA cut off

  4. Pre-mRNA Poly-A tail Cap mRNA Comparing Gene Expression in Bacteria and Animals • Bacteria and eukarya differ in their RNA polymerases, termination of transcription and ribosomes • Bacteria can simultaneously transcribe and translate the same gene • In eukarya, transcription and translation are separated by the nuclear envelope • Eukaryotic RNA transcripts are modified through RNA processing and Alternative Splicing

  5. Intron Intron Extron 1 Extron 2 Extron 3 splicesosomes Splicesosomes are enzymes that contain RNA and remove Introns
