Solution

The correct option is D Virtually all organisms
A set of three nucleotides makes a codon which in turn codes for a specific amino acid. Genetic code is nearly universal, minor deviations in mitochondria and a few single-celled organisms, which means that a particular codon specify a particular amino acid in all the organisms. The mRNA codon "ACU" codes for threonine, irrespective of its source. Correct answer is B.
