Answer:

C. Natural selection favors individuals that reproduce more than others.

Explanation:

Genetic variations present in the population are acted upon by natural selection. The organisms that have the adaptive traits which in turn make them able to survive and reproduce more than the other individuals are favored by natural selection.

Over generations, natural selection leads to the evolution of a new population with an increased frequency of the gene responsible for the selected adaptive trait.  

For example, the bacteria with antibiotic resistance were favored by natural selection as they can survive and produce more progeny in the presence of antibiotics than the bacteria lacking the gene for antibiotic resistance.

Describe the processes of transcription and translation in your own words, based on what you have observed in the Gizmo.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Please find the explanation of transcription and translation below using the key words.

Explanation:

Transcription is the process whereby a gene in a DNA template is used to synthesize a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule in the nucleus of the cell. This process of transcription occurs with the aid of an enzyme called RNA POLYMERASE, which adds the nucleotides complementary to the one it reads in the gene to the growing mRNA strand.

Translation, on the other hand, is the second process of gene expression involving the synthesis of proteins from the mRNA sequence. This process occurs in the RIBOSOME where a group of three nucleotides in the mRNA called CODON is read by another group of complementary nucleotide in the transfer RNA (tRNA) called ANTICODON. The tRNA then carries amino acids corresponding to what is read in the codon to the growing polypeptide chain.
