Question:All known organisms use genetic information to produce protein molecules via the same genetic code. This finding strongly supports the hypothesis that __________.
a) the earliest macromolecules probably arose when lightning struck an oxygen-free atmosphere
b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors
c) the genetic code readily evolves by natural selection
d) there's only one possible way to encode information in a macromolecule
Answer:
b) all organisms are descended from one or a few common ancestors
Explanation:
Protein synthesis occurs when the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. A specific genetic code specifies the same amino acid in all living beings. For example, the code "UUU" codes for phenylalanine in all the living beings irrespective of their species. This suggests that all the life forms have originated from one or few common ancestors and the genetic code has been preserved during the course of evolution of various species.

Answer:
C. produced from magma.
D. formed at Earth’s surface
Explanation:
Earth crust refers to the outermost layer or thin shell which makes up the earth such as sedimentary, metamorphic and igneous rocks.
The Earth crust is typically made up of two (2) main types;
1. Oceanic crust: this crust has a thickness ranging from 5 km to 10 km and comprises of denser rocks such as diabase, gabbro and basalt.
2. Continental crust: this crust has a thickness ranging from 30 km to 60 km and comprises of minerals such as quartz, silicate, feldspar, aluminum and less dense rocks such as granite
An igneous rock has a coarse texture and is dark in color. Also, an igneous rock can be accurately described as being produced from magma and formed at Earth’s surface.
Answer:
When a long-term environmental change occurs, certain individuals in a population will be better adapted for the new environment than others. ... Over many generations, these favorable adaptations build up in a population. This may lead to speciation, which is the development of a new species.
