Which inference is the most likely explanation for the universal properties of the genetic code?
O A. Other, less useful, versions of the genetic code were eliminated gradually throughout the course of evolution
OB. The genetic code evolved very early in the history of life, and it was used by an ancient ancestor of all or nearly all living things
O
C. The genetic code evolved relatively recently in bacteria and then it quickly spread to all living things in all evolutionary lineages.
OD. The genetic code evolved early in the history of animal evolution, and then it quickly spread to all other living things in other
evolutionary lineages.

Monarch butterflies have brightly colored orange wings with black patterns on them, making them easily visible to birds that eat butterflies and moths, yet birds rarely eat the monarchs. likewise, the monarch caterpillars are brightly striped yellow and white and black, and they also are rarely eaten by birds, although some wasps will attack them and feed them to their young. what can be inferred from these observations? monarchs must threaten and attack birds, but not wasps. monarchs have a way of discouraging bird predation that does not involve hiding. monarchs’ wings are so colorful that most birds must find them difficult to eat. monarchs lay more eggs than other less conspicuous butterflies.
