Bacteria Simultaneously Transcribe And Translate Mrna. Why Don'T Eukaryotes?

- Eukaryotic ribosomes are different than bacterial ribosomes and don't work in the same way. - Eukaryotic mRNA must be taken outside the nucleus before it can be translated. - Eukaryotic mRNA is longer and takes more time to make. - Eukaryotes don't have free-floating ribosomes, they are all inside the rough endoplasmic reticulum. - Eukaryotic mRNA is shorter. Bacterial mRNA contains several genes and must begin translation earlier.

Eukaryotic mRNA must be taken outside the nucleus before it can be translated. The protein production occurs in the cytoplasm or on the endoplasmic reticulum, entirely different locations than the nucleus.
