Hello Jitu!

The process of translation in prokaryotes is almost similar to translation in eukaryotes. Translation takes place in the cytoplasm but unlike in eukaryotes, transcription, translation can take place simultaneously in prokaryotes because there's no nuclear membrane. The steps involved in prokaryotic translation are- 1. Initiation, 2. Elongation, 3. Termination. The process is initiated with the help of start codons and terminates with stop codon. You can get a detailed explanation of this from class 12th NCERT biology textbook or any bsc level book containing genetics topic. Hope this helps.

All the best!
