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.

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

The correct choice is:

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

This statement highlights a fundamental difference in cellular organization between prokaryotes (which lack a nucleus and have their genetic material in the cytoplasm) and eukaryotes (which have their genetic material enclosed within a nucleus). The other statements provided contain inaccuracies regarding gene regulation and processing in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
