It is believed that all organisms have arisen from a single distant ancestor. The strongest evidence for this would be:
1. | DNA stores genetic information in all organisms. |
2. | The genetic code is universally a triplet code. |
3. | The amino acids specified by particular triplets are almost always identical between any two organisms. |
4. | The genetic code is degenerate but unambiguous. |
