Atlantic cod is a benthopelagic fish that is consumed primarily by humans. These are commercially known as codling. From the given choices, legal regulations and increasing reproductive capacity are both beneficial to the population of the cod. The water temperature is also likely to affect the population but not as much as overfishing does. Therefore, the answer is the first choice.
There are 4 types of RNA, each encoded by its own type of gene. ... mRNA - Messenger RNA: Encodes amino acid sequence of a polypeptide. tRNA - Transfer RNA: Brings amino acids to ribosomes during translation. rRNA - Ribosomal RNA: With ribosomal proteins, makes up the ribosomes, the organelles that translate the mRNA.
The natural rate of extinction as assumed by science is about 5 species per year. Currently scientists estimate we are losing species at 1000-10000 times that rate, with multiple species disappearing every day. A note on this idea is that the average extinction rate gives an unrealistic depiction of nature when we consider the catastrophic extinction events that ended the dinosaurs and shaped the ice age.
