This is because eukaryotes have introns in their DNA as compared
to prokaryotes. Therefore, after transcription,
the pre-messenger-RNA has to undergo a
process called splicing to form a mature mRNA that can be translated to a protein. This, therefore, gives the eukaryotes another window in which the regulation of the gene
could be applied. Additionally,
eukaryotes have a nucleus that separates the genetic material from the cytoplasm.Translation occurs in the cytoplasm while transcription
in the nucleus. This separation gives the eukaryote the spacetime to regulate genes.
