Thank you sooo much I really needed this
The genetic code defines how codons, sequences of nucleotide triplets, specify which amino acid will be added next during process of translation (protein synthesis).
The genetic code is universal among organisms. That means that the same codons code for the same amino acids in different organisms.
It is known which amino acids are coded by which codons. If we know sequences of amino acids, we then also know sequences of nucleotides in DNA/RNA. If we know DNA/RNA sequences we can then reveal relationships among different organism by compering similarities in those sequences.
Technically you are able to argue both ends. Biotic factors are living things while abiotic factors are no living things. since the plant was once living, you can argue that it is a biotic factor, however, I would say the dead plant decay would be abiotic because it is not living anymore. I hope that helped!
