It means that they all share DNA and the 4 bases Adenine Thymine Cytosine Guanine and use the same system of cell production. (Smaller answer. Not too sure, though! ^_^

When scientists say they share a universal genetic code it means that all organisms it can mean either DNA as the main source of hereditary information in all life forms we know of  or more likely that all organisms we know of use a three base pair code for the synthesis of proteins, DNA produces mRNA. This mRNA is read three base pairs at a time by a ribosome and this is called the genetic code.

Certain types of ________ have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

Answer is C. Bacteria

Certain types of bacteria have a relationship with certain plants where they help convert nitrogen into a usable form.

Explanation:

Nitrogen is abundant in the atmosphere, but plants cannot use it because of the absence of a necessary enzyme, nitrogenase, which converts nitrogen into a usable form.  So they form a symbiotic relationship (mutually-beneficial arrangement) with nitrogen fixing soil bacteria (rhizobia) which perform biological nitrogen fixation. Biological nitrogen fixation is a process in which the symbiotic nitrogen-fixing bacteria coverts atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia and organic derivatives that plants can use to synthesize proteins.  This bacteria form nodules on the roots of plants like legumes in which nitrogen fixation takes place.

Both plants and bacteria benefit from this symbiotic relationship, as the plant obtains ammonia to synthesize proteins from nitrogen in the atmosphere while bacteria obtain carbon compounds from the plant produced through photosynthesis and a secure environment to grow. As the plant roots leave behind some of the usable form of nitrogen in the soil, this process also increase soil fertility.
