The genetic code is sometimes called "universal," meaning that all organisms share the same:

A) genes
B) coding mechanism
C) ribosomal structure
D) mitochondrial DNA
E) nucleic acid composition

Genetic Code

A series of protocols that govern how genetic information, found in DNA or RNA, is interpreted and transformed into proteins within living cells.

Universal

Pertaining to or applicable to all members of a class, group, or category; widely or generally applicable.

Coding Mechanism

The process by which genetic information encoded in DNA is translated into the amino acid sequences of proteins.
