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
