Unrelated organisms on the other hand will have little or no similar genes in their DNA.
4. C.
The genetic code is the same across species, this fact points to the possibility that all living organisms originated from common ancestors. This support the evolution theory which stated that all living organisms descended from a common ancestor.
5. B.
Antibiotic drugs are usually effective against bacteria and other microbes, but the microbes can evolve and develop resistance to these drugs.

6. B.
