We know that all three share some characteristics, and we know that organisms get their genetic material from their parents. Your own genetic material becomes yet another point of reference.
Do you wish to contend that our tomatoes or green beans do not get their genetic material in the same manner..and is there any test that we might be able to devise to see whether or not this assertion is true or false, if so?
I know now that all three share some characteristic, and one is only partially different.
Again, if you don't tell me what test you're using to determine the origin of the genetic material, we can't proceed. Did the martial originate in a lab? Did it originate through the recombination of sexual reproduction? Did it originate through division/duplication as in bacteria? Did it originate through novel mutations? Did it originate through some process of abiogenesis?
Knowing where my genetic material comes from is as uninformative as knowing where I buy my clothes when guessing where you buy yours.
Remove the assumption of knowing anything beyond what the genetic material tells us, and we can proceed.
