It will be interesting to see if all life uses DNA in four pairs or if every planet evolves a system for encoding life differently.

- beeboop 5y agoMy entirely uninformed guess is that life on Earth is probably fairly representative of how life forms on any similar planet. Throughout evolution there are endless ways life could have formed, and we're the product of whatever method worked best against billions or trillions or more possibilities. I wouldn't be surprised to find plants and animals on other planets that are not dissimilar to ones on Earth, especially considering the sheer number of types of animals and plants and how much they vary in structure and appearance.
