Answer:

It indicates that core histone genes were present in the last common ancestor of yeasts, plants, and animals

Explanation:

Histones are highly basic proteins that can strongly interact with DNA, which is packaged into nucleosomes, the basic structural and functional unit of chromatin. Each nucleosome is composed of approximately 147 base pairs of DNA wrapped around a core of eight histone proteins (two copies of four types of histones H3, H4, H2A, H2B). These core histones are evolutionarily conserved across eukaryotic kingdoms in terms of sequence and structure. Therefore, DNA-packaging into nucleosomes is considered a constraint for the evolution of core histones. Moreover, the presence of conserved core histones in eukaryotic kingdoms (e.g., yeast, plant, and animal kingdoms) is strong evidence that histone-mediated DNA packaging was presumably present in the last common ancestor of eukaryotic genomes.

Natali [406]

The water present on the surface of mars does not exist in the free form like the water on the Earth. The water exists in the form of hydrated salts and in the saline form underground the surface of the Mars. The microscopic life forms that may develop will have use the water from the salts as this water can never freeze. The same goes for for the highly saline water that is under the ground. It doesn't freeze. This water can make it possible for the various microbes to live insulated from the cold temperatures while making the exchange of liquids possible for the cells.
