Prokaryotes and eukaryotes have differences in DNA replication, transcription, and translation. [1] DNA replication in prokaryotes initiates at a single origin with regulated initiation, while eukaryotes have thousands of origins and initiation factors. [2] Transcription in prokaryotes uses one RNA polymerase with a sigma factor for gene expression control, while eukaryotes have RNA polymerases I, II, and III. [3] Translation in prokaryotes uses 70S ribosomes and Shine-Delgarno sequences, while eukaryotes use 80S ribosomes, methyl-G capping, poly-A tails, and multiple initiation factors.
