Answer:

This structure has not been highly beneficial for the organism

Explanation:

Vestigial structures are cells, tissues, and/or organs that have no apparent function. Vestigial structures are retained during the course of the evolution, but often they are degenerate and/or atrophied (due to disuse). In general, these structures are homologous to anatomical structures that play a specific role in evolutionarily related species. Some examples of vestigial structures include, among others, the presence of the appendix in humans and wings in flightless birds.

Simply, transcription is a copy of __________
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

b. mRNA from DNA

Explanation:

Transcription is the process of synthesis of RNA using a DNA template strand. The process of transcription occurs inside the nucleus in eukaryotes as their DNA is present in the nucleus.

The process includes unwinding of DNA double helix to expose the DNA template strand. The enzyme RNA polymerase binds to the specific start sites on the DNA template strand and starts making its RNA copy.

The newly formed RNA undergoes modification in eukaryotes before serving as a template for protein synthesis. However, in prokaryotes, the process of transcription and translation can occur simultaneously.
