Answer:

b. 17%

Explanation:

Let's begin by stating that the human genome possesses around 3,000 millions of base pairs.

Therefore, if this retrotransposon is around 1,000 base pair and possesses 516,000 copies, it will produce 516,000,000 of base pairs overall.

Let's consider,

516 millions

--------------------- × 100

3000 millions

= 17.2% (approximately 17%)

it gives us a percentage of the human genome which is for this transposon.

natta225 [31]

Answer:

An mRNA template is used to create an amino acid chain.

Explanation:

Transcription is the first step in the protein synthesis process. Translation is the second.

Overall, the central dogma of biology is DNA->RNA->protein.

Transcription is that first step, DNA to RNA, and translation is RNA to protein: think of it like nucleic acids can just be transcribed, but nucleic acid to protein is like a whole different language, so it has to be translated. So the correct answer here is that mRNA is used to make amino acid chain (aka protein), which happens only in translation.
