When scientist say that all living organisms share a universal genetic code it means DNA is called the universal genetic code because the structure and components of DNA are that all living organisms are related in some type of way. The universal genetic code relates to the hypotheses of life on earth by showing life originated from a single ancestor, the genetic code has more or less remained consistent. Life is a molecule that can rebuild itself, RNA-polymerase consists mostly of RNA. These fact tell that a world must have existed once, where proteins was also taken RNA molecules. The similarities of different species the scientists cut the DNA of the species into small-segments to separate the strands and mix the DNA together. When the DNA between the 2 species bonded together the match between two strands would not be perfect since there are genetic differences between the species, the more imperfect the match, the weaker the bond was. The weak bonds were broken with a little heat, while the closer required more heat to separate the strands again. The Rhesus monkey has 0 differences while Neurospora has 14 differences, I got these answers by following the chart and finding the differences and figuring out which had the same characteristics as us.
