Scientists use a system called binomial nomenclature to classify organisms. For example, the goldfish is known as Carassius aura

tus. Each of the two names has a different significance. Which of the following correctly describes the meaning of the two names? a. Carassius is a distant evolutionary ancestor of the goldfish, while auratus is a more recent species. b. Carassius is a group of organisms with similar behavior, while auratus is a group with similar structures. c. Carassius is a group of organisms with similar external structures, while auratus is a group with similar internal structures. d. Carassius is a group of different organisms with similar structures, while auratus is a smaller group of memebers that can only breed with another auratus.

The correct answer is: d. Carassius is a group of different organisms with similar structures, while auratus is a smaller group of memebers that can only breed with another auratus.

Carassius represents the name of genus. In binomial nomenclature it is the generic name shared by the group of close relatives. In this case, Carassius is a genus in the family of ray-finned fishes.

Auratus represents the species of the fish and it is specific unique epithet within the genus.

son4ous [18]

The cellular process shown in the image as x, y and z are mentioned below:

X is Replication. It is the process by which double- DNA Replication is the process by which double stranded DNA makes its own copies. Each strand on its separation, synthesizes a complementary stand.  

Y is Transcription. It is the process by which copying of the information from a strand of DNA into a new molecule of mRNA, with the help of an enzyme RNA polymerase.

Z is Translation. It is the process in which genetic code on mRNA is decoded to produce the specific sequence of amino acids to form a polypeptide chain.

How is information translated during protein synthesis? Apex
krok68 [10]

Translation of mRNA into a peptide occurs in sequences of 3 nucleotides called codons. Each codon codes for one amino acid. Therefore, as the ribosome reads the codon sequence, it recruits a t-RNA carrying the respective amino acid. A peptide bond is thereafter formed on the growing amino acid chain before the ribosome translocates to read the next codon. This continues until the ribosome reads a stop codon signaling the end of the peptide.
