In bacteria, transcription and translation takes place in the same compartment. Why?
a. No separation of cytosol and nucleus
b. mRNA does not require any processing to become active
c. Due to presence of nucleus
In prokaryotes, mRNA does not require any processing to become active and there is no clear demarcation between the nucleus and cytoplasm. Genetic material is dispersed throughout the cytoplasm. Thus, transcription and translation takes place in the same compartment in prokaryotes.
