Answer: C. scorpions have changed as a result of natural selection
Explanation:
The text tells us that scorpions today are now smaller than they were in the past. This means that the scorpions have changed since then i.e. they have evolved.
The primary reason for evolution is natural selection which refers to a situation whereby only the organisms that are better adapted in their species survive.
The conclusion that can be drawn from this research therefore is that we have smaller scorpions today because they stood a better chance of survival than the larger ones and so survived whilst the larger ones died out.
During the transfer of energy from one tropic level to the next tropic level around 90% of the total energy is lost in the metabolic processes in the form of heat. Hence only about 10% of the total energy can only be transferred from one tropic level to the next tropic level.
Given what we know, we can confirm that the aspect of nucleic acids and transcription that can help explain this discrepancy is that of alternative splicing.
<h3>Alternative Splicing.</h3>
- This process allowed the cells to use a single gene for the creation of various proteins.
- This process includes the separation of RNA at splicing sites to create new versions of the mRNA strand.
- This helps to increase the diversity of mRNA's available and create more proteins.
Therefore, given that alternative splicing allows the cells to create multiple forms of distinct proteins from a single gene, this allowed our organisms to develop the vast number of proteins we use, without the need for a much larger genome.
