The genetic code is universal, such that the sequence of formation of nucleotides, the way in which organism directs development of cell, and so is same in all organisms. The statement that is correct is:

Option d. A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Genetic codes are the sequences of purines and pyrimidines arranged specifically in the DNA and RNA. These nucleotides constitutes the genetic information that decoded by the cell organelles into a functional protein.

The features of genetic codes are:

The genetic codes are universal. The genetic code is unambiguous. The genetic code is redundant and can be coded by more than one codon.

Genetic code is essentially same for all living organisms, because each and every organisms consists of genetic material in the form of DNA. Every organism follow the central dogma of biology, in which each organism uses DNA to transcribe into RNA. Thus, RNA is then translated into the proteins. This model of central dogma is used by every living organism.

Therefore, option d is correct.

Answer from: sanchez626

d. A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Explanation:

If we talk about genetic code, it comprises the rules through which genetic material of an organism like RNA or DNA is changed into a functional protein through the process of translation.

Every gene is composed of sequence of nucleotide in set of three called codon. Each codon codes for one amino acid for example CCT codes for Proline.

So, coming to the the question that based on the uniformity of genetic code we can conclude that is a genetic codon codes for one amino acid in one organism like human, without any doubt the same genetic codon will code for same amino acid in any other organism like monkey. why? Again because codon is universal.

So based on these facts the best option that can be concluded is A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Hope it helps!
