During a mission to colonize a new territory, a group of pioneers were to sail across the ocean to a new continent. before they set sail, however, a crate of food became infested by a particular species of insect that did not yet exist on the new continent. after the journey, the insects began populating their new surroundings. which statement best describes how the insect population in the new colony will be different from the original population?

Molecules called lipids have long hydrocarbon chains that determine the way they act. they can be fats, oils, or hormones, and even exist in our cell membranes 

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
