  • Card 5 / 10:
    Name two differences between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and how these differences benefit multicellular organisms.

    Eukaryotic cells have a nucleus, whereas prokaryotic cells do not. In eukaryotic cells, DNA is confined within the nuclear region. Because of this, transcription and translation are physically separated. This creates a more complex mechanism for the control of gene expression that benefits multicellular organisms because it compartmentalizes gene regulation.
