Answer 1

The correct response that explains why the genetic code is considered universal among all organisms is:

"The genetic code is universal because each codon codes for the same amino acids."

This means that, regardless of the organism, the same codons (sequences of three nucleotides) correspond to the same amino acids, which is a fundamental aspect of the genetic code's universality.
