question 12
which of the following is correct about the genetic code?
o all prokaryotes use one code and all eukaryotes use another
o protists use a different code than other kingdoms
o fungi and animals use the same code, but plants use another
o all living things use the same genetic code
The genetic code is nearly universal. All living organisms, from prokaryotes to eukaryotes (including protists, fungi, plants, and animals), use the same genetic code. There are only a few minor exceptions in some organisms (like mitochondria and a few protozoa). The idea that different kingdoms use different codes (as in options about prokaryotes - eukaryotes, protists - others, or fungi - animals - plants differences) is incorrect.
