Messenger RNA molecules are very difficult to isolate in prokaryotes because they are rather quickly degraded in the cell. Can you suggest a reason why this occurs? Eukaryotic mRNAs are more stable and exist longer in the cell than do prokaryotic mRNAs. Is this an advantage or a disadvantage for a pancreatic cell making large quantities of insulin?
