Which hypothesis helps to explain why all organisms share the same genetic code?

Answer:

There are two possible answers: Deep-sea vents provided the energy needed for the first organic compounds to form OR self-replicating RNA molecules passed on genetic information.

Explanation:

The reason for the first answer is due to the hypothesis that indicates that life (organic molecules) arose from inorganic molecules synthesized from the amino acids in those energy vents. This is called the metabolism first hypothesis. The Miller-Urey Experiment provided evidence that organisms could rise from inorganic molecules (they simulated under the conditions you would see on early Earth). The second hypothesis is the RNA World hypothesis (second answer) which suggests that the formation of RNA that could replicate (possible due to mutation or evolution), led to life that could preserve its genetic integrity through replication (greater stability to the organism) and create lipid bi-layer membranes/other organelles. Some scientists support the Metabolism First Hypothesis, while others are skeptical (this goes for the RNA World Hypothesis as well). However, the RNA World Hypothesis is for more reasonable in the fact that its main point is the fact that RNA molecules were able to replicate and maintain genetic stability despite early Earth conditions. Although either hypothesis could explain why all organisms share the same genetic code, the RNA World Hypothesis better explains the universality of DNA/RNA of genes that we see today.

Importance of plants from an economic, nutritional, environmental and medicinal point of view
Inga [223]

Answer:

Plants are extremely important in the lives of people throughout the world. People depend upon plants to satisfy such basic human needs as food, clothing, shelter, and health care. These needs are growing rapidly because of a growing world population, increasing incomes, and urbanization .

Plants provide food directly, of course, and also feed livestock that is then consumed itself. In addition, plants provide the raw materials for many types of pharmaceuticals, as well as tobacco, coffee, alcohol, and other drugs. The fiber industry depends heavily on the products of cotton, and the lumber products industry relies on wood from a wide variety of trees (wood fuel is used primarily in rural areas). Approximately 2.5 billion people in the world still rely on subsistence farming to satisfy their basic needs, while the rest are tied into increasingly complex production and distribution systems to provide food, fiber, fuel, and other plant-derived commodities .

Medicinal plants have been used in healthcare since time immemorial. Studies have been carried out globally to verify their efficacy and some of the findings have led to the production of plant-based medicines. The global market value of medicinal plant products exceeds $100 billion per annum. This paper discusses the role, contributions and usefulness of medicinal plants in tackling the diseases of public health importance, with particular emphasis on the current strategic approaches to disease prevention. A comparison is drawn between the ‘whole population’ and ‘high-risk’ strategies. The usefulness of the common-factor approach as a method of engaging other health promoters in propagating the ideals of medicinal plants is highlighted.

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Mutualism

Explanation:

In biology, the term <em>symbiosis </em>refers to close and often long-term interactions between organisms that belong to different species. There are three main types of symbiotic relationships:

  • mutualism - both organisms benefit from their relationship
  • commensalism - one organism benefits, while the other doesn't benefit or suffer any harm
  • parasitism - one organism causes harm to the other

In the given scenario, both the bird and plant benefit from their relationship. The bird gets food, while the plant reproduces more easily. This is why their relationship is an example of mutualism.
