Alien biochemistry

Yes, I expect that numerous worlds in the Terragen Sphere would have multiple biospheres with different biochemistries, or at the very least multiple genetic codings that are not compatible with each other.
Earth probably had several biospheres early in its history. But (if Earth's history is any indicator) then most of these biospheres would die out, and reduce to one single biosphere at some point (or none).

Only a very few garden worlds would have two or more complex, incompatible biospheres, and these would be worth writing about.
