The genetic code is universal since the rules of protein codification based on mRNA codons are practically similar for all known living beings. For illustration, the genetic code is similar for humans, for bacteria and for invertebrates. The protein synthesis in chloroplasts, mitochondria and some protozoans though are accomplished by dissimilar genetic codification.
