Question

All of the following statements are true EXCEPT:

		Transcription and translation are spatially and temporally separated in eukaryotes.
		Transcription and translation occur in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes.
		Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of both eukaryotes and prokaryotes.
		Transcription and translation occur in the nucleus of eukaryotes.

Answer 1

D. Transcription and translation occur in the nucleus of eukaryotes.

Explanation- In eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus and translation occurs in the cytoplasm. The process of transcription and translation are spatially (space; nucleus and cytoplasm) and temporally (at different times) separated in eukaryotes. In prokaryotes, transcription and translation are coupled and take place in the cytoplasm.
