The graph shows the population growth of a colony of insects over time. Which statement below best explains what might have occurred to the population of insects at point A?
A
The health of the insects improved, causing the population to stabilize.

B
A predator was introduced, causing a decline in population growth.

C
The population growth decreased as individual insects aged.

D
The population reached a carrying capacity and stabilized.

The population reached a carrying capacity and stabilized.

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs 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.

step 2: elongation

elongation 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.

step 3: termination

termination 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.

i think the answer is c hope this
