What features of the genetic code make it possible for a mouse's gene to work inside the cells of a fly.?

The structure of the genetic code is now fairly well known. The code is a non-overlapping triplet code. Most, but not all, of the 64 triplets stand for one or another of the 20 amino acids and, in most cases, each amino acid is represented by more than one codon.
Knowing this, we also know that almost all organisms in nature, from bacteria to humans, use exactly the same genetic code (with rare exceptions).
Therefore, a gene from an organism (mouse) could theoretically be expressed by any other organism (fly), and all organisms have a common ancestor.
Kasandra Hegmann
The genetic code is universal, meaning that the same triplet codons code for the same amino acids in all organisms. This universality allows a mouse gene to be recognized and translated by the protein synthesis machinery of a fly cell. The basic machinery for transcription and translation is conserved across different species, enabling the expression of genes from one organism to function inside the cells of another. Additionally, regulatory elements within the gene, such as promoters and enhancers, can be compatible between species, allowing proper gene expression in the foreign host.

Not for humans; I read that very hungry dogs or mouses eat wax.
