The fact that a strain of yeast with a certain defective gene can use the human version of the gene to repair itself is evidence that yeast and humans —

Understand the Problem

The question is asking about the implications of yeast being able to use the human version of a gene for repair, and what that indicates about the relationship between yeast and humans. It focuses on genetic similarities and biological characteristics.

More Information

The common genetic code allows for gene exchange and comparison across different organisms, highlighting evolutionary relationships.

Tips

A common mistake is assuming identical genomes imply sharing a genetic code. They are related but distinct concepts; organisms can share a genetic code without having identical genomes.
