A. Absence of a nuclear membrane
B. Simpler structure of prokaryotic tRNA
C. Absence of introns in prokaryotic DNA
D. High speed of prokaryotic RNA polymerase

📝 Explanation

Without a nuclear envelope separating DNA from ribosomes, prokaryotes can simultaneously transcribe and translate a genetic message.
