The genetic code is used to construct every single organism on earth. True or false.
Think about the genetic code. What can it mean about life on earth if each bacterium, crawling bug, leafy plant, feathery bird, scaly reptile, and furry mammal is built from the same code?
It is evidence for a connection between all organisms. The genetic code is universalwthat is, all organisms share it. A saguaro cactus uses the same genetic code to build itself as your body does. In the upcoming units, you will continue to explore how scientists piece together the puzzle called life. For more on how the genetic code connects life, click here to read an article from BBC News.
