a) List the main differences between mRNA from prokaryotic andeukaryotic species
b) In contrast to prokaryotic cells, eukaryotic cells hasspliceosomes, what function do they have? and list the main stepsin the reaction
c) How many different codons code for amino acids?
d) Explain why the number of different tRNA molecules is lower,than the number of different codons?
