Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Both A and B

• The study of biology has helped humans to understand the similarities between all forms of life.
• For example, the genetic code of all living organisms is very similar in all life forms. The genetic material is stored in the form of DNA for all plants, animals, bacteria and fungi.
• By studying the DNA of all these different life forms, biologists have determined that all living creatures are related to each other.
• Biology has also helped doctors learn how to keep people healthy and fight off disease.
  Hence, option C is the answer.
