Solution

The statement that best describes a similarity among trees, cats, and amoebas is "They contain DNA composed of the same four types of nucleotides."

Here's why:

  1. "They have genomes that consist of the same number of genes." This is incorrect because different organisms have different numbers of genes. For example, humans have around 20,000-25,000 genes, while some species of amoeba have as many as 200,000 genes.

  2. "They are classified as members of the same kingdom." This is incorrect because trees are part of the Plantae kingdom, cats are part of the Animalia kingdom, and amoebas are part of the Protista kingdom.

  3. "They contain DNA composed of the same four types of nucleotides." This is correct. All living organisms share the
