Which of the following statements correctly distinguishes transcription in prokaryotes from that in eukaryotes?
1. In both prokaryotes and eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the cytoplasm and involves RNA polymerase II.
2. In prokaryotes, transcription and translation are coupled, whereas in eukaryotes, transcription occurs in the nucleus and is followed by post-transcriptional modifications.
3. Prokaryotic transcription requires multiple types of RNA polymerases, unlike eukaryotic transcription which uses only one.
4. Eukaryotic mRNA is immediately functional after transcription, whereas prokaryotic mRNA undergoes extensive splicing and capping.
