The genetic code is universal meaning it applies to all known life on earth. This gives basis to many of the theories of evolution.  The fact that all life contains the same code and the fact that the code can be passed from one generation to the next is essential to the theories of evolution and common ancestors.  The process of evolution of species would not be possible were it not for the shared universal code.
