TRUE OR FALSE: DNA sequences are exactly the same for organisms that are related to each other. (If false please explain).

False

Explanation:

DNA sequences can be similar for organisms that are related to each other but through various steps of meiosis like crossing over and law of independent assortment we can get genetic variations that lead to slight differences. We can also get differences in DNA sequences due to mutations.

those characteristics are cellular organization, reproduction, metabolism, homeostasis, heredity, response to stimuli, growth and development, and adaptation through evolution. some things, such as a virus, demonstrate only a few of these characteristics and are, therefore, not alive
