Answer:

The correct answer is option A) "Sequence of bases".

Explanation:

Even though DNA most of the time is comprised entirely of only four different nucleotide bases (adenine, thymine, guanosine and citosine), it is the sequence of these bases that allows DNA to carry a vast amount of hereditary information. The genes that carry the hereditary information are translated according to the sequence of the DNA bases. The information is translated by triplets of bases (codons) that correspond to different amino acids that are added to new synthesized proteins during translation.

Why are protists considered the precursors to the eukaryotic diversity of life on the planet today
liubo4ka [24]

The protists belong to the kingdom Protista that comes under the domain Eukarya. Protists are a very broad group, comprising of various eukaryotes that do not fit into the other kingdoms, like animals, plants, and fungi. The protists were the initial eukaryotes.  

They would go on to become the precursors for each of the other eukaryotic kingdoms. By examining protists one can witness the transformation between the single-cell prokaryotes and modern multicellular eukaryotes.
