We can make genetically modified plants that express DNA from other organisms to confer useful traits. While it has not yet been done for all organisms on earth, based on what we now know, it is possible to clone any gene from almost any living organism, transfer that gene into another unrelated organism, and make the same protein coded for by that gene. This means that the genetic code must be a universal language for life on this planet. True / False.

True

Explanation:

This statement is genetically true; genetic code must be a universal language for life on this planet. A classical example is the Recombinant DNA techniques used in the mass production of human insulin. The genetic code was gotten from human an inserted to a vector (plasmid) found in certain bacterium and the plasmid is inserted back into the bacterium. During the cell cycle replication the bacterium transcribed and translated the inserted code into human insulin protein which is harvested for treatment of diabetes in human.

Somewhat TRUE

Explanation:

This is because of the partial universality of the whole genetic code. The genetic code is mostly similar in all organism yet differ in some i. e., humans and bacteria in some of the codon that yield methionine are very dissimilar. On the other hands, there are several example of tranfering one's code to another to make a viable protein product. For example, we entered the silk producing protein from the spider into the transgenic goat that'll eventually give ys silk protein of spider in the milk of the goat that can be purified later.

The main reason behind this transfer is the similarity of the genetic code of related organism as a whole i. e., being a prokaryote or a eukaryote signifies that similarity and differences.
