Which of the following processes does not occur in prokaryotes?
A
Transcription
B
Splicing
C
Translation
D
Replication
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -So, the correct option is ‘Production of mRNA’.

Detailed explanation-2: -In prokaryotes, splicing is a rare event that occurs in non-coding RNAs, such as tRNAs (22). On the other hand, in eukaryotes, splicing is mostly referred to as trimming introns and the ligation of exons in protein-coding RNAs.

Detailed explanation-3: -Splicing does not occur in prokaryotes because they do not have introns in their genome.

Detailed explanation-4: -In prokaryotic cells, mitosis and meiosis are not seen.

Detailed explanation-5: -Which of the following do not occur after transcription in prokaryotes? Binding the mRNA codon to the tRNA anticodon.
