Question

The genetic code is essentially the same for all organisms. From this, one can logically assume which of the following?Different organisms have different numbers of different types of amino acids.DNA was the first genetic material.The same codons in different organisms translate into the different amino acids.A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.All organisms have experienced convergent evolution.

Answer 1

Answer:

Here is the correct option: A GENE FROM AN ORGANISM CAN THEORETICALLY BE EXPRESSED BY ANY OTHER ORGANISM.

Explanation:

The theory of evolution has clearly showed us that all living things on earth have common ancestors. This fact has been established by the study of genetic materials in different organism. The similarity between two organisms can easily be measured by the amount of DNA that the organisms have in common. Because, the genetic code in all living organisms are essentially the same, genes from a particular organism can be expressed by another organism. A good example of this is seen in the use of PCR (Polymerase chain reaction) in which a DNA from a human can be replicated and multiply by a bacteria.
