AHHH! No! The genetic code is not the same in all organisms! There are some base sequences that are the same across organisms but that is because they code for material that is needed for the organism's cells to function (break down proteins, divide itself, etc.). If you are talking about us all have the same four base pairs then this is significant because it shows how effective these four base pairs are at coding, which is why they were retained and used by all the organism that exist today. It can also point to us all arising from one common ancestor who originally started with the As, Ts, Cs, and Gs we have today.

The significance is that there was a creator with a plan in mind. The universe could not have just happened at random by a big bang or an evolutionary path and everything still have the same genetic code. This helps to prove the intelligent design or creation theories about how the world began.

The significance is that all life came from simpler forms and that far enough back came from one common ancestor which explains why DNA is different but same basic system in all Earth life. Also an example that all life on Earth has same basic needs which are programmed into all life's DNA
If life were made as it is today but a creator then al llife would have different types of DNA since would have no relation at all.

It tells us the code is universal and that new genes have arisen by duplication, and mutation.It says that organic evolution is a biological process and that one organism has given rise to another by modification.It shows that organisms are biologically chained.It reflects unity in diversity.

DNA is same in all organisms but with different nitrogen base sequences.

We evolved from a common ancestor
