Prokaryotic cells can and do produce "polycistronic" mRNAs, which have multiple independent coding sequences coding for separate proteins on the same mRNA strand. Eukaryotic cells don't have polycistronic mRNAs, because only the first (most 5') coding sequence on such an mRNA would ever be translated in a eukaryotic cell. Explain why this is the case - why wouldn't a second, more 3' coding sequence on an mRNA be translated in a eukaryotic cell?

Mitochondrial Mutations

A mitochondrion is a cellular organelle that serves as the site for cellular respiration and energy production (ATP or Adenosine Triphosphate). It is a double-membrane-bound organelle and is only present in eukaryotic cells.
