Answer:
At dawn the squid prepares to hide in the sand for the day and it ejects about 95% of the bacteria from the light organ in order to reduce or stop the growth of bacteria population in the squid. This will prevent the bacteria population from reaching a level too high for the squid to support.
Translation of mRNA into a peptide occurs in sequences of 3 nucleotides called codons. Each codon codes for one amino acid. Therefore, as the ribosome reads the codon sequence, it recruits a t-RNA carrying the respective amino acid. A peptide bond is thereafter formed on the growing amino acid chain before the ribosome translocates to read the next codon. This continues until the ribosome reads a stop codon signaling the end of the peptide.
