Answer:

A DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in different species

Explanation:

All living organisms store their genetic information in DNA (genetic material). The manner through which information in the genes are encoded is the GENETIC CODE. The genetic code comprises of all the codons that specifies amino acids in living organisms. The genetic code has several characteristics, which includes that the GENETIC CODE IS UNIVERSAL

The genetic code is said to be universal because all known living organisms use the same genetic code to encode their genetic information. This means that a DNA sequence codes for the same proteins in several different species. For example, codon AUG encodes the amino acid METHIONINE in every living organism.

How is mass wasting different from other forms of erosion?
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Examples of mass wasting are slides, falls, creeps, and flows.  Mass wasting processes are easily observable because they happen fast and suddenly and the changes are vividly evident in very short bit of time.   However, other methods of erosion such as mechanical and physical weathering occur very slowly and it would take many years for the changes associated wth their proceses to be vivid to the naked eye.
