Your Performance  

1.

The difference in the products translated from a tricistronic mRNA molecule by the ribosomes of prokaryotes and eukaryotes is that :

  the prokaryotic ribosome translates only one cistron while the eukaryotic ribosome translates all cistrons.

  the eukaryotic ribosome translates only one cistron while the prokaryotic ribosome translates all cistrons.

  the eukaryotic ribosome will produce one polyprotein instead of three smaller proteins.

  None of the above.

  Half-n-half Clue
 

2.
