Anton [14]4 years ago

Answer:

Biological magnification refers to a phenomenon where some of the substances like heavy metals or pesticides move up the food chain, make their way into the lakes or rivers, and are eventually consumed by aquatic species like fish. This, in turn, is further consumed by large species like large birds, humans or animals.  

This is associated with the health warnings given to pregnant women as too much eating of some kind of fish may influence the immune systems, that is, may affect the health of women who are pregnant.

Which occurs during transcription? DNA is copied to create a second DNA strand. mRNA codons and tRNA anticodons assemble amino a
Novosadov [1.4K]

During transcription, mRNA is synthesized using DNA as a template. This process usually takes place in the cell nucleus and is carried out with the help of an enzyme called RNA polymerase.

mRNA  plays the role of a messenger hence the term messenger RNA or  mRNA in short. Information for synthesis of a specific protein is transcribed on mRNA in the nucleus of the cell. The mRNA then leaves the nucleus and enters the cytoplasm and attaches onto a  ribosome. Ribosomes are cell structures fondly called the "work bench " of the cell.

It is in the ribosomes that the information brought by mRNA is translated or decoded and used to synthesize the specific protein that was coded for.

MrMuchimi

The correct answer is vestigial.

A vestigial composition is an anatomical characteristic, which no longer appears to exhibit an objective in the present form of an organism of the given species. Usually, these vestigial compositions were organs, which had done some essential activity in the organism at one time in the past.

The examples of human vestigiality are plentiful, involving the anatomical compositions like wisdom teeth, human tailbone, and inside corner of the eye.
