DNA is like a universal language, one that uses the same system and alphabet. All DNA in all organisms is a double helix of deoxyribose nucleic acid made up of adenine, guanine, cytocine and thymine (I think it's thymine at least). The differences are in the codes. The universal language is still universal, but it's not saying the same thing for everyone. It's helpful to compare DNA to a cookbook. Page 7 of one book codes for apple pie, while page 7 of a different book codes for soup. They're in the same language, but they say different things.

∙ 12y agoDNA codes for proteins that express genes.
The universal codon chart that codes for amino acids to make up proteins is universal, meaning all of the organisms on earth use that same chart.
The sequences to make the number and kind of proteins is different among all living organisms however, that is why we all look different.

Does a lion and dog have the same DNA?
No, all living organisms have a slightly different to a very different DNA pattern. No living organism is alike. Not even people or animals related to another.
What is in all of the genes in an organism?
DNA
Is a gene all of an organism's DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
What is an organism's complete set of nuclear DNA?
An organisms complete set of nuclear DNA is a genome. Organism's inherit all of their mitochondrial DNA from the female parent.
How does DNA determine the traits of an organism?
DNA contains the genes that determine the traits of an organism. Not all the DNA is in gene form but in what some people call "junk DNA". It has been shown by some that even that is important in the individual.
Is all DNA alike?
All DNA is different. DNA defines everyone and everything differently. Like a fingerprint, not one is alike

What organism has DNA?
All living organisms have DNA..
An organism's what contains a complete set of instructions needed for making that organism?
The code that contains all the information that an organism needs to grow and function is DNA.
What is in all of the genes in an organism?
DNA
If all the offspring of a testcross are alike and resemble the organism being tested then is the parent homozygous?
If all the offspring of a testcross are alike and resemble the organism being tested then the parent is homozygous.
All dna in one cell of an organism?
yes
All of the information to make an organism?
is coded its DNA
Is a gene all of an organism's DNA or only a segment of DNA?
A gene is a portion on a chromosome. It is not the entire DNA which codes for all you see in an individual.
All the information necessary for an organism to form and grow is recorded in the organism's DNA. How does DNA use its stored information to express a trait?
The genes in the DNA instruct the cell to synthesize proteins
