After the devastating tsunami in japan in 2011, the nuclear power plant failed and released radioactive material into the ocean. which long-term impacts would radioactive material most likely have on fish populations?
exposure to radiation would result in a large fish kill, decrease reproduction rates for fish, and decrease the amount of fish caught by the industry.
exposure to radiation would result in a large fish kill, which would increase reproduction rates for fish and not impact the amount of fish caught by the industry.
exposure to radiation would result in a small fish kill, which would decrease reproduction rates for fish but increase the amount of fish caught by the industry and the food supply for the general population.
exposure to radiation would only result in water pollution, which would impact reproduction rates for fish and would increase the amount of fish caught by the industry.

Exposure to radiation would result in a large fish kill, decrease reproduction rates for fish, and decrease the amount of fish caught by the industry.

Explanation:

The radiation can be define as the transmission of energy in the form of waves or beam of particles that requires a material medium to travel. The radiations can cause instant mutations in living beings and they can also be lethal.

The radiations emitted by the radioactive material in a nuclear power plant may penetrate the oceanic water, where these will influence the living creatures in water. This will lead to the death of fishes as these are powerful and can cause huge damage. Thus the reproductive rate of fish will decrease as a result of this the fishes will not be available for commercial selling by the industry.

Proteins are the workhorses of the cell, controlling virtually every reaction within as well as providing structure and serving as signals to other cells. proteins are long chains of amino acids , and the exact sequence of the amino acids determines the final structure and function of the protein. instructions for that sequence are encoded in genes . to make a particular protein, a messenger ribonucleic acid (mrna) copy is made from the gene (in the process called transcription ), and the mrna is transported to the ribosome . protein synthesis, also called translation , begins when the two ribosomal subunits link onto the mrna. this step, called initiation, is followed by elongation, in which successive amino acids are added to the growing chain, brought in by transfer rnas (trnas). in this step, the ribosome reads the nucleotides of mrna three by three, in units called codons , and matches each to three nucleotides on the trna, called the anticodon. finally, during termination, the ribosome unbinds from the mrna, and the amino acid chain goes on to be processed and folded to make the final, functional protein
