Let us presume that it is possible to view enzymes and organelles in a cell, including those involved with gene expression. A prokaryotic cell can be differentiated from a eukaryotic cell because it can be seen that:

1. the nucleotides in the promoter are different in prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

2. the actual genes are more widely-spaced apart in eukaryotes than prokaryotes.

3. ribosomes have started translating mRNA that was still being synthesized by RNA polymerase.

4. prokaryotic mRNA does not contain introns.
