question 1 of 3

While studying for an upcoming test, your friend Jane tells you that prokaryotic cells process their RNA in the nucleus. Is this a correct statement? Why or why not?

Yes, this is how prokaryotic cells process their RNA.

This is partially correct because only eubacteria process their RNA in the nucleus, other bacteria do not.

No, because prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus and their RNA is arranged in operons.

No, because prokaryotic cells do not have RNA.
