The structure of DNA was determined in the 1950s and the components of the genetic code, including transcription and translation, were deciphered in the 1960s and 1970s. It was determined that the genetic code is universal. Since the components of the genetic code are common to all organisms, which laboratory procedure could actually be performed from the options below? A) Hybrid species can be formed between plants and fungi.
B) Chimera organisms can be formed from two different species.
C) Genes from eukaryotes can be expressed in prokaryotic cells.
D) Plants can express the entire human genome in their leaf tissues.
