Natural selection is an evolutionary mechanism by which _______.
torisob [31]

Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is B) Advantageous traits become more common in a population.

Theory of natural selection was given by Darwin. This is one of the mechanisms of evolution.

According to this theory, organisms that are better adapted to their environmental conditions survive and increase their population by reproduction. So they pass the advantageous trait to the next generation. In other words, it reflects the survival of the fittest.

Due to this, the advantageous trait becomes more common in the population.

Thus, the correct option is B)

What are the functions of the three major forms of RNA (ribosomal RNA, messenger RNA, and transfer RNA)?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

Ribosomal RNA: Structural part of ribosomes

Messenger RNA: Carry genetic information from DNA to proteins

Transfer RNA (tRNA): Transport amino acids to protein synthesizing complex.

Explanation:

Ribosomes are made up of ribosomal RNA (rRNA) and proteins. The catalytic activity for the formation of peptide bonds between amino acids during protein synthesis resides the RNA of ribosomes.  

Messenger RNA (mRNA) is formed by the process of transcription during which the nucleotide sequence of the template DNA strand is copied into that of the RNA. The mRNA serves as a template for protein synthesis. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes to specify the amino acid sequence of a protein. In this way, the genetic information stored in DNA is carried to the proteins.

During the process of protein synthesis, tRNAs carry amino acids to the mRNA-ribosome complex so that the amino acids are incorporated into the polypeptide. For the purpose, there is a tRNA with a specific anticodon sequence for a particular amino acid.

Amino acids are known to be the building blocks of proteins. Amino acids are organic substances and organic substances contains carbon. Amino acids have an amine group and the carbonyl group (-OH) which contains nitrogen and oxygen respectively. Proteins can also be derived from other sources like meat. Proteins can perform different functions, being an antibody is one.
