Astronomers have made great strides in sending probes out to other planets and moons in our solar system. If they were to find a living creature some place other than Earth, how could DNA analysis help them better understand the organism? Explain in 1–2 sentences.(2 points)

DNA analysis could help astronomers determine the genetic makeup of the organism, which could provide insights into its evolutionary history, biological functions, and relationships with other life forms. This information could help scientists understand how life may have developed on that particular planet or moon.
