Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glucose metabolism is a basic process that is essential for energy production in all living organisms, from bacteria to humans. Therefore, a gene involved in glucose metabolism is likely to be found in the widest group of organisms. Genes involved in immune systems, communication between cells, the central nervous system, and complex development are more specialized and may not be present in all organisms.
