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.

Hi, thank you for posting your question here at Brainly.

Chromatin contains proteins and DNA. The cellular division processes, mitosis and meiosis, condenses the chromatin to form chromosomes. They divide into two cells (mitosis), then two 4 cells (meiosis). The chromosomes contain the gene.

The efferent division of the peripheral nervous system innervates ________ cells.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

heart muscle , skeletal muscle , glandula and smooth muscle

Explanation:

The peripheral system distinguishes two major divisions: the afferent and the efferent. Afferent division is formed by the nerves that carry information to the central nervous system. In the efferent division the information travels from the central system to the effector organs, both muscular and other (including skeletal muscle, heart, glands, smooth muscle). Within the efferent division, in turn, two systems are distinguished, the somatic and the visceral or autonomous.

The somatic system conducts the signals that give rise to body movements and actions outside the body. It is formed by the fibers of the motor neurons that innervate the skeletal muscles; Their cell bodies are found in the spinal cord and a single axon reaches the muscle fibers it innervates. The action of these motor neurons always consists in the excitation and contraction of the muscles, although muscular activity can be inhibited by inhibitory synapses in charge of central system neurons.

The visceral system is formed by the fibers that innervate the smooth muscles, the heart, the glands and other non-motor organs or tissues, such as brown fat. It controls functions that are mainly related to the maintenance of internal environment conditions and also certain automatic responses to external stimuli. Regulates visceral activities such as circulation, digestion, thermoregulation.
