D. The planet's orbital path will become smaller and its orbital period will increase.

The more gravity an object has, the more it will pull objects.

Answer:

The correct answer will be option D.

Explanation:

Planets orbit around the Sun (star) due to the gravity of this star which pulls down them around it. This gravity is the vital force which maintains the elliptical path of their orbit.

If this force of gravity will change it will affect the celestial bodies revolving around it like a planet as this force of gravity is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to the distance between them.

According to the question if the gravity of the star increases it will change the orbital path of the planets as they will be more pulled towards the sun which will decrease the distance between the star and planet and the orbital path will become smaller and the orbital period will increase.

Thus, option D is the correct answer.

What happens to mRNA after it completes transcription?
Nana76 [90]

The correct answer is "C."

mRNA stands for messenger Ribonucleic acid.  The role of mRNA is to carry genetic information for the synthesis of protein from the nucleus after transcription.

After the transcription process is over, the mRNA leaves the nucleus and heads to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where translation of this information takes place.

The ribosomes are the work bench of the cell. They receive the mRNA with its coded information, read it and translate it and with the help of tRNA (transfer RNA), amino acids are fetched from the cytoplasm and linked together to form the exact protein that was coded for on the mRNA.

By the end of prophase, each of the following has occurred except ____.
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Lining up of chromosomes in the cell .

Explanation:

Prophase begins with the Thickening of chromosome. Chromosomes are clearly visible inside the nucleus. each chromosome splits longitudinally to form two chromatids.

The centriole in the centrosome of animal cell divides into two. The centrosphere set the centrioles free. Centrioles develop very fine eye-lash like thread called aster rays. the two asters start moving towards the opposite poles. By the end of prophase they reach at the opposite poles.
