The presence of genetic code alternatives directly challengesthe concept of a common ancestor for humansand E.coli. C. Life arose twice as independent events. D. The genetic code has a small number of alternative states but these differences cannot be used like nucleotide differences in the genome to infer phylogenies (relationships).
