in sparrows?

Answer 1

Although part of your question is missing, you might be referring to this full question below:

"There are five different types of nucleotide bases found in living things. Which

is an accurate comparison of the bases found in robins and the bases found

in sparrows?

A. Robins and sparrows have different types of bases.

B. Sparrows have only one type of base in their cells; robins have

many.

C. Robins and sparrows have the same arrangement of the bases.

D. Robins and sparrows have different arrangements of the bases."

First of all, the five nitrogenous or nucleotide bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), cytosine (C), guanine (G) and uracil (U). Three (A, G and C) of these five are found in both DNA and RNA while T is only found in DNA and U is only found in RNA. All living things contain genetic materials (DNA and/or RNA) but what differentiates each individual organism (within or outside a particular specie) is the arrangement of these bases in the genome of the organism. Thus, all organisms have the same five nitrogenous bases but are repeatedly arranged differently in the entire genome of individual organisms.

From the explanation above, one can deduce that the correct option to the question is D. This is because different organisms cannot have the same sequence/arrangement of bases.

Answer 2

They have the same bases but in a different order

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA is the molecule that carries the "recipe" of all living things. People, animals, fruits and even simple cellular organisms, such as plankton in the oceans, carry a sequence of nitrogenous bases (A, C, G, T) wrapped around a double helix. The order of these four letters within the nucleus of cells is different for each organism and defines the development and characteristics of each being - from eye color to whether it will be a bacterium or a person - as well as indicating whether the individual is genetically distant of other species that live on Earth.

For this reason we can say that robins and sparrows have the same bases, but in a different order.
