The mRNAs found in prokaryotes differ from that of eukaryotes in the following ways: (i) The prokaryotic mRNAs are broken down by the ribonuclease into ribonucleotide, hence these are very short lived e.g. 2 minutes in E.coli. The short lived nature is due to changes in environmental conditions. In contrast the eukaryotic mRNAs have longer […]
