Summary Introduction

To review:

The generalization of the results of the biological experiments performed on one species to a very different species.

Introduction:

All life forms have evolved from a common ancestor. Thus, a genetic code is shared by all the living organisms. The defining feature of all the organisms relies on the four basic nucleotide sequences and their combinations in the organisms, which eventually end up forming a variety of functional proteins.
