Answer:

Descent with modification

Explanation:

Darwin proposed the phrase "descent with modification" to explain that evolution of new species occurs when existing species accumulate genetic variation over the period of time.  

Accordingly, the process of accumulation of genetic variations to get better adapted to the surroundings is followed by natural selection of individuals with beneficial adaptations that impact survival advantage to them. These individuals transmit the adaptations to their progeny.

Gradually, the process leads to the evolution of new species which differ from parental species in having the individuals carrying the beneficial adaptations.

lana66690 [7]

tRNA-precursors were smaller than the modern tRNA and their primary function was to participate in the formation of new structures by joining two or more RNA molecules.

The adaptor hypothesis is the explanation of how information could be extracted from a nucleic acid into a string of amino acids in a specific sequence. The proposed explanation involved recognition between the adaptor (today tRNA) and the template nucleic acid .
