Answer:

A)Ocean floor evidence of sea floor spreading.

Explanation:

evidence pointing to the steps or process  of seafloor spreading and effective plate motion This theory was accepted by many scientist because  it depended  on hard evidence and could describe most of the modern geological structures such as ocean basins,

What is the tectonic theory?

The theory of plate tectonics plates  says  that Earth's surface is made of rigid slabs of rock, or plates, that move to each other.

What is a tectonic plate?

In which step of protein synthesis does the rRNA make protein?
Inessa [10]

Answer:

Translation is the second part of the central dogma of molecular biology: RNA → Protein. It is the process in which the genetic code in mRNA is read to make a protein. Translation is illustrated in the diagram below. After mRNA leaves the nucleus, it moves to a ribosome, which consists of rRNA and proteins.

Explanation:

Within the ribosome, the rRNA molecules direct the catalytic steps of protein synthesis — the stitching together of amino acids to make a protein molecule. In fact, rRNA is sometimes called a ribozyme or catalytic RNA to reflect this function.
