Question

In 2010, a new type of life form was found in California's Lake Mono. The microbe found has a variation in the structure of its DNA. DNA usually consists of nitrogen bases, sugars, and phosphates. However, this newly-discovered microbe uses arsenic if phosphorus is not available. This fact might lead to the discovery of

Answer 1

Answer: Possible life in non earthlike environments.

Explanation: As per the information provided in the question, the microbe located in California's Lake Mono has a variation in the shape of its DNA as they use arsenic ( if phosphorous was once no longer available) to comprise in the nucleotides of their DNA.

This shows the possibility of life structure in the non-earth-like environment because existence types that originated on earth like environment possess carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and phosphorous ( that is composed of four fundamental elements).

But existence can additionally be shaped in an environment that lacks phosphorous ( for instance, DNA shaped in microbes utilized arsenic in absence of phosphorous, indicating version in their structure).
