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.

I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question. ok

What would happen if (G) guanine lined up with (T) thymine during meiosis. Please help me with this.

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:they won't for a pair

Explanation:Basically it all depends on process called complementary base pairing, the structure of thymine and adenine is such that it forms two hydrogen bonds and therefore pair up

2.guanine and cytosine have such structure that they form three hydrogen bonds and pair up

So Adenine complements only thymine and guanine complements cytosine and there aren't any chances of guanine pairing up with thymine.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

Nephrons in birds, mammals, and reptiles are all extremely similar, more so than other structures in the bodies of different species, solidifying the relatedness through similarity.

Explanation:

Birds can be said to have "mammal-like" nephrons from the number of loops and overall structure of their kidneys, which, although they look very different, serve the same purpose and do it in largely the same way. Reptiles also have mammal-like nephrons, and it can be assumed that this evolutionary trait was kept because the specific structure of the nephrons is generally the most efficient.
