The proximate significance of the fact that artificial selection can lead to change in a tested population is that it a. demonstrates that the environment has relatively little effect on the development of most behavioral attributes. b. shows that most animal species have a long way to go in reaching their full evolutionary potential. c. shows that populations often possess the potential for evolutionary change in the present, and so they could have been evolving in the past. d. demonstrates that heritable genotypic differences can influence the phenotypic differences observed among individuals in a population.

d. demonstrates that heritable genotypic differences can influence the phenotypic differences observed among individuals in a population

Explanation:

Artificial selection is a process that aims at identifying desirable traits in animals and plants in order to perpetuate them. In artificial selection, breeders choose individuals that exhibit desired phenotypic traits for breeding, thereby shaping evolution by driving genotypic variation. A phenotype can be the result of genetic factors, environmental conditions, as well as a combination of both. In consequence, during artificial selection, higher response to selection may be attributed to a better correlation between a genotype and its phenotype.

transcription is a process in which information is rewritten. it is something our cells must do, in a more specialized and narrowly defined way. in biology, transcription is the process of copying out the dna sequence of a gene in the similar alphabet of rna. it needs to happen in the nucleus because that's where the dna is. dna is always inside the nucleus unless the cell is dividing.

transcription is the first step in gene expression, which involves copying a gene's dna sequence to make an rna molecule. transcription is performed by rna polymerases. it has three stages: initiation, elongation, and termination. rna molecules must be processed after transcription in eukaryotes.

explanation:

long version:

the protein synthesis consists two processes which are, transcription and translation. transcription takes place in the nucleus. it uses dna as a template to make an rna molecule. rna then leaves the nucleus and goes to a ribosome in the cytoplasm, where translation occurs. transcription is the first part of the central dogma of molecular biology: dna → rna. it is the transfer of genetic instructions in dna to messenger rna (mrna). during transcription, a strand of mrna is made that is complementary to a strand of dna.  

these three stages are:

  initiation: in which   is the beginning of transcription.occuring when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

    elongation: in which is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

    termination: in which is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.

the correct answer is 4) heat and pressure

metamorphic rocks arise from transformation of existing rocks types, in a process called metamorphism. during metamorphism the original rock(prolith) change into metamorphic rock by heating (150-200c) and pressure of more than 1000 bar. the original rock can be sedimentary, igneous, or existing metamorphic rock.
