Answer:

True

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information using the same molecules (DNA and RNA). The information encoded by these molecules needs to be decoded through gene expression and the way in which it is done is through the GENETIC CODE, which comprises of all the codons that encodes an amino acid.

There are only 20 common amino acids in proteins. These amino acids are specified by a group of three nucleotides in the DNA/RNA molecule, called CODONS. Each of these codons specifies an amino acid, although more than one codon can encode a particular amino acid, since there are 64 possible codons that can encode these 20 amino acids (more than enough).

One of the characteristics of the genetic code is its universality i.e. The same genetic code is employed by every known living organism with little or no exceptions.

The same codon specifies the same amino acid in most known living organisms. A codon does not code for a different amino acid in another organism. It is universal that codon AUG codes for Methionine in most living organisms.

This same coding in all organisms is a convincing evidence that all organisms share a common evolutionary history.

Answer:

1. Evolution can be defined as the gradual development of an organism creating diversity.

2. A common misconception is that Homosapiens are descendants of Apes.

3. analogous structures are features of different species that are similar in function, but not necessarily in structure; such as bird wings and insect wings. homologous structures, however, is an organ or bone with similar underlying anatomical features found in different animals; such as the arms of primates.

4. vestigial structures are structures that have no apparent function and appear to be residual parts from a past ancestor, such as wings of flightless birds.

5. Embryology supports the theory that organisms have a common ancestor in accordance to the theory of evolution.

What are two advantages of using the SI system?
tatiyna
 1. No conversions. The greatest advantage of SI is that it has only one<span> unit for each quantity ( a type of measurement). This means that it is never necessary to convert from one unit to another (within the system) and there are no conversion factors for students to memorize.

2. </span><span>No fractions. SI uses decimals exclusively, eliminating clumsy fractions and mixed numbers.</span>

OleMash [197]
Oogenesis and spermatogenesis both involve the chromosomal-reduction divisions of meiosis,which takes the gametes from the full complement of chromosomes to the Haploid number of chromosomes. Meiosis is the  type of cell division that take place in the gamete cells, where diploid cells of the germ lines undergo cell division to yield haploid cells, normally the gametes are made through this process, that is, the ovum through Oogenesis, and the sperm through spermatogenesis. During fertilization the two combines to produce a diploid cell once again that undergoes continuous mitosis to form a zygote.
