Let's look at each individual answer:
A) We know this is factually wrong; humans and yeast eat different things. This question is about the micro-level of molecules, so we cannot infer much about the food of the organisms.
B) This is correct. If we did not share a genetic code, the yeast cell would not have been able to "translate" the genetic information in human genes in order to fix the problem. The genetic code is universal in life as we know it; we can transfer microbial DNA in humans and our cell machinery will still be able to utilize it and this is the basis of DNA recombination.
C) Again, this is not necessary. See the example in B (there are prokaryotic bacteria that illustrate the point).
D) This is plain silly; the genome determines to an extreme part our appearance etc. and it is obvious that we only share a small part of our genome with yeast, and certainly not all of it!

Answer: Option B

Explanation:

The yeast and human beings are genetically different but some part of their genome is same.

The yeast and the human beings are similar in the way that they share the same genetic code. This is the reason when required the yeast can use a part of the human genome to compensate for the defective part of the gene.

The yeast and the human genome contains some part as in common so that human genome can be used in case of the emergency.

Hence, the correct answer is option B

Describe the movement of oxygen molecules if there were more oxygen molecules<br> outside the cell
Molodets [167]

Explanation:

Because there's a higher concentration of oxygen molecules outside the cell compared to the cell's cytoplasm, you'll see that oxygen diffuses into the cell along this concentration gradient. ... Because the molecules are moving at random, some will move out of the cell, but most will be moving in in this case.
