Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All living organisms, including kittens, oak trees, swans, earthworms, elephants and crickets share a common genetic material, DNA, which is made up of nucleotides. Additionally, all living organisms are composed of one or more cells that originate from other pre-existing cells. This concept is known as the cell theory, which states that all living organisms are composed of cells and that cells are the basic unit of life. Therefore, option A, which highlights the role of DNA nucleotides in inheritance and the concept of cells arising from other cells, is the correct choice.
