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.

Blababa [14]

Answer:

a. Uninucleate, nonstriated

Explanation:

Smooth muscle tissue is composed of smooth muscle cells that are spindle-shaped with a single nucleus. Smooth muscles line the walls of hollow organs such as urinary bladder, uterus, stomach, intestines but also arteries and veins and the tracts of the respiratory, and reproductive systems. Smooth muscles are under involuntary control, meaning that their contraction is unconscious.

1. How many pounds of biological material is below that soil surface?​
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

The amount of organic matter in mineral (sand, loam or clay) soils ranges from very low being 1% by weight, to average being 2 to 4%, and high being greater than 5%. There are also “muck” or organic or peat based soils that are 30 to 40% organic matter. The general consensus is the more soil organic matter the better.   approximately 45%

Soil Composition

The basic components of soil are minerals, organic matter, water and air. The typical soil consists of approximately 45% mineral, 5% organic matter, 20-30% water, and 20-30% air. These percentages are only generalizations at best.

How do the nervous system and endocrine system work together​
viktelen [127]

Answer:

the endocrine system and the nervous system are the two major regulating and communicating systems of the body. During rest and exercise, the nervous system along with endocrine system  regulate the body mechanism to initiate the maintenance of Homeostasis in the body.

both endocrine and nervous system are both together  involved in the transmission of chemicals signals which are important for physiological processes in the body . The difference is that endocrine system uses Hormones while nervous system uses neurotransmitters for chemical signalling.

The main area of the brain where these system work together and perform their function collectively is Hypothalamus where they signal each other when they receive proper stimulus.
