Prokaryotic codons specify different amino acids compared to those of eukaryotes

Prokaryotic and eukaryotic codons are similar in structure and code for the same amino acids

In prokaryotes, a single codon will code for one amino acid, whereas in eukaryotes, a single codon can be translated into many different amino acids

Prokaryotic codons are less likely to contain mutations compared with eukaryotic codons

Prokaryotic codons consist of tRNA whereas eukaryotic codons consist of mRNA
