      What are you talking about? I’d like a citation for that.

      DNA in all eukaryotes is composed of adenine, thymine, cytosine, and guanine. RNA in eukaryotes subs in uracil for thymine.

      There are things that make them substantially different from other branches of life, but not in that way.

      Absolutely not true. Fungi are weird but not this weird. Citation please

    Some have features of both plants and animals, so they’re kinda hard to fit into rigid categories.

      they’re neither plants or animals, so… what does that have to do with being extra alive

        That’s how I interpreted @moosetwin@lemmy.dbzer0.com ’s “extraalive” phrasing. If you want to know exactly what they meant, I recommend asking them.
