Title: The finding that virtually all organisms use the same genetic code provides the Post by: colleen on Sep 14, 2013 The finding that virtually all organisms use the same genetic code provides the basis for declaring that the code is universal. Name at least two exceptions to such universality.
Title: Re: The finding that virtually all organisms use the same genetic code provides the Post by: locdawgg on Sep 18, 2013 The normal codon of "AGG" and "AGA" usually code for the amino acid Arginine. However, in a mammalian organism, it codes for a stop codon.
The same thing goes for the codon "AUA" which usually codes for isoleucine. But in yeasts it codes for Methionine. There are many other exceptions as well. Source: "The Genetic Code."
