This is a very good question and the answer to it is option A. The common core set of genes is very similar between all organisms.
This is true because several facts, for example, all living beings on earth share the same gene code: DNA, all of them are based on DNA or RNA, which humans have it too. This was explained by Darwin's evolution theory, we are all descendants of just one single species, and because of that, all species have something in common between them.
That's why there's a possibility that a human gene can correct a defective gene in a yeast cell. Although this could really happen, we are not sure about it, it's a possibility, don't always be sure of something in biology, there's always more to understand and to learn.
Hi!
The selection in this case would be natural selection.
Natural selection is a process that involves organisms with favorable characteristics having a higher chance of reproductive success, and passing on their traits onto the offspring. This process, as opposed to artificial selection, does not involve human intervention and is a natural phenomenon.
In our case, whales with maximum length (the favorable trait) are mating on accord of their own, without external factors governing the process; hence, the selection is natural.
Hope it helps!
Light rays change direction while passing through a lens because they are refracted. Refracted means "to change direction when it enters at an angle."

No. Gender traits in humans are largely determined by biophysical processes. There seems to be a vocal political faction that is trying to convince people in the name of liberty and equality that gender traits are completely learned, and therefore arbitrary.
But this claim disagrees with scientific evidence. In general, boys play more with cars and girls play more with dolls not because their parents are perpetuating outdated gender stereotypes, but because their brain is telling them to.
This fact does not mean that boys have to play with boy toys, or that boys who play with dolls aren't really boys. It is just a scientific observation about average behavior and its link to fetal development
