Answer:

The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).

Explanation:

There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.

The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.

For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.

Other options, such as an increase in food availability, a decrease in tuna fishing or a decrease in tuna predators, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.

Answer:

first 4, then 2, then 1, and lastly 3

Explanation:

First, RNA polymerase binds to the promoter region of a gene on the DNA and initiates transcription. Transcription is the process by which we get mRNA (coding RNA) which is used as a template for protein synthesis. Then, in transcription, the resulting mRNA undergoes modification and maturation. This involves removal of introns, addition of 3'-poly-A tail and 5'-cap. Introns are sequences that do not code for protein and are hence removed. The structure that removes introns is the spliceosome. Thirdly, mature mRNA travels to the cytoplasm. Ribosome (composed of rRNA) binds to mRNA and tRNA to start the process of protein synthesis. The process of formation of protein is called translation. Lastly, the primary structure of protein may undergo folding to form a tertiary structure.
