A tobacco plant can be made to express a gene from fireflies, resulting in the emission of light. Which of the following is the basis for this phenomenon?
(A)Chloroplasts can be made to produce light if firefly proteins are injected into plant cells
(B)Fireflies and tobacco plants share a recent ancestor
(C)Fireflies and tobacco plants are infected by the same kinds of bacteria
(D)Transcription and translation are fundamentally similar in both fireflies and tobacco plants
(E)Most enzymes in fireflies have the same amino acid sequence as the enzymes in tobacco plants

please only answer if you have a pretty good idea of what it is. Thanks!

D is the correct answer because the dna code is universal means its the same in all living species. so u can use genetic engineering to pass that luciferin gene into tobacco plants :]

i can't locate something incorrect with statements B and F. A: the nucleolus makes rRNA yet no longer tRNA that's made contained in the nucleoplasm. C: it is not precisely authentic that DNA can shop a replica of itself. It demands particular enzymes called DNA polymerases that enable DNA to be copied, in a technique called DNA replication, which lies on the heart of all cellular branch. RNA can't shop a replica of itself the two in spite of the undeniable fact that that's copied by way of enzymes called RNA-based RNA polymerases, that are modern in some viruses. D: DNA isn't constantly double stranded, case in point throughout DNA replication there are small single stranded stretches, and likewise on the ends of chromosomes there are short single stranded DNA stretches. Conversely, RNA isn't constantly single stranded, case in point throughout siRNA silencing of mRNA it varieties temporary double stranded RNA-RNA complexes. E: There are areas of the chromosome that are no longer in touch in gene expression, case in point the centromeres.

D is correct. The gene is luciferase.
