Which of the following statements best supports the claim that organisms share fundamental processes as a result of evolution? (

A) All organisms that are introduced into new environments have the capacity to fill vacant ecological roles. (B) All organisms have the ability to utilize oxygen to harness energy from the chemical breakdown of organic compounds. (C) All organisms share a genetic code organized into triplet codons, making it possible for one organism to express a gene from another organism. (D) All organisms possess structures such as chloroplasts and mitochondria within their cells that reflect past symbiotic relationships

Answer:

C

Explanation:

All living organisms' cell are composed of genetic material in form of DNA. The DNA encodes the information needed for the production of useful products (proteins). The way in which the information is encoded is called the GENETIC CODE. It consists of all the triplet nucleotides in DNA or RNA that encodes an amino acid.

This genetic code is universal i.e. the same genetic code is employed by virtually all living organisms, as a codon does not encode another amino acid in another organism. It is universal that AUG specifies Methionine in all living organisms. This shows that all organism share a common evolutionary history.

Hence, it is possible for an organism to express a gene from another organism since the same genetic code will be used to read the information in the gene.

ATP donates energy through (select all that apply)
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

ATP donates energy through C phospho anhydride bond hydrolysis.

Explanation:

ATP or adenosine triphosphate is an energy rich compound which contain 3 phosphate moiety that are linked by 2 high energy phospho anhydride bonds.

   The hydrolysis of phosphoanhydride bonds releases high amount of free energy which is used by cellular system of our body to exhibit various cellular,biological and physiological functions.

 Some anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria are able to use H2S or hydrogen sulfide as an electron donor.

Opportunistic pathogens only cause infection under certain circumstances eg in immune compromised hosts.

Why are standards of mass necessary?
Alex_Xolod [135]
Hello!

Standards of mass are necessary because it is a whole lot easier than using a bunch of different systems. Since the metric system is common, it would be easier to compare something with someone from America and someone from Germany using the metric system as opposed to something otherwise.<span />

At rest the lens of the eye will be more round when the ciliary muscles are contracted true or false
matrenka [14]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Yes, the lens of the eye will be more spherical when the ciliary muscles are contracted due to tension. When the relaxation occurs in the ciliary muscle , the zonular tension is increased, that causes the lens to be flatten and leads to decrease in optical power while on the other hand, when the ciliary muscle contracts, the tension in the equatorial zonular is increased which causes the central lens surface to become more rounded that leads to increases central optical power.
