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.
