What Is Translation? — Overview & Stages

In prokaryotes translation can occur at the same time as transcription while in eukaryotes these two processes are seperated

In prokaryotes there is no tRNA as there is direct interaction between mRNA and the corresponding amino acid

In prokaryotes elongation occurs before initiation while in eukaryotes elongation occurs after initiation

In eukaryotes the ribosome moves in the 5' $\rightarrow$ 3' direction while in prokaryotes the ribosome moves in the 3' $\rightarrow$ 5' direction
