(a) Prokaryotic cell. In a cell lacking a nucleus, mRNA
produced by transcription is immediately translated without additional processing. Nuclear envelope
DNA (b) Eukaryotic cell.
TRANSCRIPTION The nucleus provides a Pre-mRNA separate RNA PROCESSING compartment for mRNA transcription. The original RNA transcript, called pre-mRNA, is processed in Ribosome various ways before TRANSLATION leaving the Polypeptide nucleus as mRNA. Figure 17.3b
