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.

No. The recorded drop in water in the pipet of the potometer would have been used not only for plant transpiration, but also to return the plant cells to a turgid state. Turgid means to expand<span> due to high fluid content. Plants are required to maintain turgid cells to maintain an upright position as loss of turgidity results in plant wilting.</span>
