The most likely explanation for the variation is the offspring were produced from different combination of genes. A single pair of gold fish mentioned in the question means a male and a female gold fish. The two of them mated and contributed different genes to the fertilized fish eggs, this results in production of various body shape and colouration which is known as variation.

HELP!!<br><br> What are the steps from gene to protein? Label and describe each step.
Alika [10]

DNA makes up genes. Transcription: The info stored in the gene's DNA is transcribed to RNA in the cell nucleus. The type of RNA that contains the info for making a protein is called messenger RNA, also known as mRNA. It carries out the information from the DNA, out of the nucleus, and into the cytoplasm. Translation: This happens in the cytoplasm. It is where the mRNA interacts with the ribosome, which "reads" the sequence of mRNA bases. Three bases make a <em>codon</em>, which usually codes for one particular amino acid, which is building blocks of proteins. Then, another type of RNA called transfer RNA, aka tRNA, assembles the protein by folding. This continues until the ribosome reaches a stop codon.

Cells with 2 copies of each chromosome are called ______________, whereas cells with 1 copy of each chromosome are called ______
mojhsa [17]

Answer:

Cells with 2 copies of each chromosome are called <u><em>diploid</em></u>, whereas cells with 1 copy of each chromosome are called <u><em>haploid</em></u>.

Explanation:

Cells which comprise of homologous pairs of chromosomes are known as haploid cells. For example, the autosomal cells in humans contain 23 pairs i.e 46 chromosomes in them.

Cells which have only one copy of the chromosome are termed as haploid cells. For example, the sex cells of the humans i.e egg cell and sperm cells comprise of 23 chromosomes. This is half the number of chromosomes than the autosomal cells.
