Answer: (Structure) mRNA: always single stranded, rRNA: single stranded, twisted upon itself in some regions, tRNA: cloverleaf-like structure
(Function) mRNA: carries the information in the DNA to the ribosomes where it is translated into amino acids of proteins, rRNA: helps assemble tRNA, mRNA, and amino acids to form the polypeptide chain during protein synthesis, tRNA: acts as an adaptor molecule, which identifies correct amino acids corresponding to the anticodon present on it
Explanation: Plato, you're welcome
an agent, such as radiation or a chemical substance, which causes genetic mutation.
Genetic variation is the variation in the DNA sequence in the genome of an organisms. Organisms of a species have similar characteristics but they are not identical due to genetic variation. Genetic variation is important in the survival and the adaptability of a given species of organism. Therefore, in this case lack of genetic variation necessary to adapt to change in the environment will lead to extinction of the fish species that lacks the variation.
