All eukaryotes use operons to organize their genes while prokaryotes do not.

Prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.
Prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.

Prokaryotes remove exons from mRNA before translation while eukaryotes translate the entire sequence of mRNA.
Prokaryotes remove exons from mRNA before translation while eukaryotes translate the entire sequence of mRNA.

Eukaryotes transcribe genes in response to environmental stimuli while prokaryotes transcribe genes randomly.

Answer 1

The correct response that highlights a difference between gene regulation in prokaryotes and eukaryotes is:

Prokaryotes do not store their genes in a nucleus like eukaryotes do.

This statement accurately reflects a fundamental structural difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells, affecting how gene regulation occurs. Prokaryotes have their genetic material in a nucleoid region without a membrane, while eukaryotes have their DNA enclosed within a nuclear membrane, leading to distinct regulatory mechanisms.

The other options provided contain inaccuracies or misrepresentations of gene regulation processes between the two groups.
