(N/A) The genetic code is universal,meaning that a specific codon codes for the same amino acid in all organisms,from bacteria to humans. For example,the codon $UUU$ codes for phenylalanine in almost all living organisms.
However,there are some exceptions to this rule,such as in mitochondrial codons and in some protozoans.
