on there order of these nucleotides. since all organisms have the same basic universal structure for dna, which of these must be universal?
A. All organisms have the same proteins
B. All living things must have the same amount of DNA
C. All organisms must be genetically identical to each other.

All matching codons in all organisms DNA code for the same amino acids.

Option D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Codons are defined as group of three nucleotide bases that forms a triplet, and codes for a particular amino acid.

There are four nitrogen bases, so four possible nucleotides. Among them, 3 are stop codons, rest 61 are codons denoting the 20 amino acids. Codons are discrete, meaning no same codon codes for more than 1 amino acid.

And these codons are universal. It means, like AUG denotes for amino acid methionine, and that is same in bacteria, as well as in all organisms. So they are universal.

How is atmospheric nitrogen converted into a biologically useful form of nitrogen?
frutty [35]

Answer:

The atmosphere is the largest reservoir of the nitrogen as it is composed of 78% of Nitrogen. Although 78%, this is not used by the organisms directly as the nitrogen molecule exists in nature in the form of divalent joined via triple bonds.

These triple bonds require a great amount of energy to be broken and used. Only a few prokaryotic organisms called nitrogen-fixing bacteria have the capability to break these triple bonds as they contain enzymes-nitrogenase complex which converts the atmospheric nitrogen to usable forms like ammonia, nitrates and nitrites. About 92% of the atmospheric nitrogen is fixed through this way rest through thunderstorms and Haber's process.

Thus, nitrogen-fixing bacteria is the answer.

Answer:

C. Osmosis

Explanation:

Osmosis is the net movement of solvent molecules, usually water, from a region of lower solute concentration to a region of higher solute concentration through a partially permeable membrane. Osmosis is a very useful for moving materials in and out of the cell.

Solutions are mixtures of solutes and solvents. The main aim of osmosis is for all the mixture part to be uniform and the solvent equally dispersed to all the part of the solution.

Osmosis is controlled to a large extent by concentration gradient.

Diffusion on the otherhand is the movement of molecules of a substance from one position to another.

Facilitated diffusion and active transport are just mechanisms for transport within a cell or a body.
