Biology
What does it mean when scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code?
-When scientists say that living organisms share a universal genetic code, they mean that they share similar amino acids in their genetic sequence, to a certain extent. There are changes in the code but they are still similar to a point.
How does a universal genetic code relate to the hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth?
-A universal genetic code applies to the hypotheses about the origin of life because even though organisms are physically different, they are genetically similar based on the genetic code.
How are self-replicating molecules, such as RNA molecules in the “RNA World” hypothesis, essential to the most popular hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth?
-Self-replicating molecules are essential to the most popular hypotheses about the origin of life on Earth because these molecules can explain how one organism has a similar genetic code of a different organism, which wouldn’t be possible without the molecules.
How might similarities and differences in genetic codes, or the proteins built as a result of these codes, be used to determine how closely related different species are?
-Differences and similarities in genetic codes could be used to determine how closely related different species are by comparing and contrasting the amino acids in their genetic code.
