Answer:

B. The coding system for genomic information is common to all life.

Explanation:

All the life forms follow the universal genetic code to decipher the genetic information stored in nucleotide sequences of DNA. The genetic information stored in the DNA is carried to the cytoplasm by mRNA and is translated into the amino acid sequence of proteins.

The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template strand of DNA and is read in the form of triplet codons.  

The triplet genetic codes are universal which means that a particular set of three nucleotides code for the same amino acids in all the living organisms.

For example, the genetic code "UUA" codes for leucine in all life forms.
