Answer:

The statement that supports the idea that the genetic code is common to all living things is All living things have genes that use the same nitrogenous bases (choice B).

Explanation:

All living organisms possess DNA, a nucleic acid molecule that contains all the genetic information of living beings. This information is transcribed into mRNA, where it becomes the genetic code that determines the synthesis of biomolecules, such as proteins.

The DNA molecule is made up of sequences of four nitrogenous bases: adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine. These nitrogenous bases are common in the DNA of all living organisms.

Since genes consist of DNA fragments, with specific sequences of the same nitrogenous bases, then it is true to state that all living things have genes that use the same nitrogenous bases.

The other options are not correct because:

A. Living organisms have different ways of reproduction.

C. The way living things use energy is different, and there is no evidence that the genetic code is common to all of them.

D. The way organisms adapt is not supported by the fact that they possess a common genetic code.

Answer:

Prophase is the first phase of mitosis, the process that separates the duplicated genetic material carried in the nucleus of a parent cell into two identical daughter cells.

Metaphase is a stage in the cell cycle where all the genetic material is condensing into chromosomes.

Anaphase is the stage of mitosis and meiosis in which the chromosomes move toward the poles of the spindle.

Telophase is the final stage of mitosis and of the second division of meiosis in which the spindle disappears and the nucleus reforms around each set of chromosomes.

Cytokinesis is the division of cells after either mitosis or meiosis I and II.

Why do researchers need a lot of data to monitor a species population?

Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Researchers need a lot of data to monitor a species population because the environment is very diverse in types of species found at different places .

What happens to one part of it could affect the population of other animals, humans, and may also effect the ecosystem of that certain environmental region .
