It all depends on the species, some lose all of their leaves for part of the year while others lose their leaves before the next growing season, retaining some during winter or dry periods.
The part anti means opposed. Biotic is basically all the naturally occurring organisms. So an antibiotic would oppose an organism like a virus.
There is no set lifespan.It can live as long as the environment can support its life. However the average lifespan differs for each particular species, with an average life expectancy from a few days to a year or two.

When a scientist say's organisms have the same universal genetic code it mainly means that the
"organisms use the same four nucleotide bases." Now <span>organic molecules that serve as the monomer units for forming the nucleic acid polymers.
Hope this helps!
