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.

sveticcg [70]

Answer:  

Birds have a different mating season this evidence will go against the argument and suggest that the birds are actually different species. Generally, two factors seasonal and behavioral identifies the differences among the species. Species generally interbred among the same population of species according to the season and hence they loose mating opportunities.  Although being sexually compatible they do not interbreed. Behaviorally, a biological clock in species naturally sets breeding cycle according to the resources availability, suitable nesting sites and mating opportunities. Different species have different seasonal requirements to accomplish this.
