The following table provides phenotypic data for a population of mammoths living in cold environments based on fossil and DNA ev

idence.
Characteristic Percent of Population Showing Trait by Generation
Generation 1 Generation 2 Generation 3
Tusks greater than 2.5 m in length 25 25 25
Tusks less than 2.5 m in length 75 75 75
Mass greater than 4,000 kg 15 15 15
Mass less than 4,000 kg 85 85 85
Fur thickness greater than 6 cm 15 25 35
Fur thickness less than 6 cm 85 75 65
Based on this data and your knowledge of natural selection, which explanation best explains the trends seen in the data?

A. Individuals with thicker fur had a survival advantage in the cold environment, allowing these individuals to reproduce more often and create more offspring.
B.Individuals within this population of mammoths tend to only mate with individuals that have thick fur.
C.This population of mammoths appear to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium since no allele frequencies are changing over time.
D.Individuals with thick fur migrated into the population of mammoths, increasing the proportion of these individuals.

Which of these is happening when translation takes place?
beks73 [17]


The answer is B

Before the process of translation occurs, mRNA which bears the blue print or coded information for the synthesis of a specific protein arrives from the nucleus and into the cytoplasm where there are ribosomes

mRNA then attaches itself to a ribosome. The ribosome is the site where the protein is formed. It is sometimes referred to as the "work bench" of the cell. Once mRNA is attached, tRNA comes and begins to read and translate the coded information on the mRNA. This is the translation stage of  protein synthesis.

Based on the translated information, tRNA then fetches amino acids  from the pool of free amino acids found in the cytoplasm and brings them to the ribosome where they are joined to form a chain thus creating a protein.
