Solution

The correct option is B An mRNA sequence is never completely represented in its translated product
The mRNA formed by transcription is premature and undergoes processing before translation. There are events like splicing, capping and tailing and then the mature mRNA is translated. So, the protein which is formed is different from the mRNA.
The prokaryotic cells are living and lack the nucleus. The anticodons are located on the tRNA. No splicing occurs in the prokaryotes.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
