Which of the following is NOT true of protein synthesis?
Protein synthesis is responsible for translating DNA into RNA.
Protein synthesis is responsible for coding four nucleotides at a time into an amino acid.
Protein synthesis is a process in which organelles in the cell known as ribosomes translate RNA into forming amino acids.

According to natural selection, individuals that tend to survive and pass down their traits are those that have...
the best luck
the biggest body
traits that adapt to their environment
the ability to camouflage and change color
Darwin observed several different types of finches. Why are there so many different types
Finches live in different places, but eat the same food.
Finches live in the same place, but eat different types of food.
Finches live in different habitats and eat different types of food.
Finches are found all over the world.
Why are advantageous traits more likely to be passed onto offspring?
Because they are more likely to survive and reproduce.
Because they come from dominant alleles.
Because they come from recessive alleles.
Because the trait is an acquired phenotype.
A species could go extinct if:
food becomes more plentiful.
the environment changes drastically and no one can adapt.
members of the species have adaptations to enhance survival.
there is less competition for resources.
What is most likely to happen to the moth populations pictured?
Light moths--hunted easily, light moths--population increase
Dark moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Light moths--hunted easily, dark moths--population increase
Lights moths will change their color to match dark moths.
