The process by which the information in a gene directs the synthesis of a protein is called

Gene expression

Explanation:

The information a living organism needs is embedded in the genes found in the genetic material (DNA) of that organism. These information, however, are stored in the DNA and needs to be used to produce useful products (usually proteins). This process is called GENE EXPRESSION. Gene expression occurs in two steps; transcription and translation.

Transcription is the process whereby the information in the DNA is copied into a RNA molecule. It involves synthesizing a complementary strand of mRNA from a DNA template. This mRNA is then used as a template to direct the production of sequence of amino acids, which determines the protein. Transcription occurs in the nucleus of eukaryotes while it occurs in the cytoplasm of prokaryotes. Translation occurs in the cytoplasm of both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

primary succession occurs in essentially lifeless areas regions in which the soil is incapable of sustaining life as a result of such factors as lava flows, newly formed sand dunes, or rocks left from a retreating glacier. secondary succession occurs

the two answers are a, the population of birds with large beaks will increase on the island, and c, the trait for large beaks will be passed on to future generations through natural selection. the reason for that is because if the birds that have beaks developed for eating small seeds lose all of their food, they will go hungry and eventually starve because they physically cannot eat the large seeds, therefore making the population of large beaked birds higher. also, if the trait of large beaks are dominant on the island over small beaks, then over time the large beaked birds will reproduce more and more, while the smaller beaked birds will reproduce less and less because they can't survive with the food provided. that leads to the trait of small beaks disappearing and the trait of large beaks taking over the island.
