DNA -the double strand blueprint- molecules which include adenine, guanine, cytosine and thymine are the same for all life forms: the sequencing -number and arrangement -of these molecules determine the nature of the organism, whether it be a potato, a lizard, or an amoeba.
All cell activity from mitosis that is needed for healing skin, growing a new tail or asexual reproduction uses the same four molecules, no new proteins are introduced. RNA -the single strand worker, roughly explained, made of adenine, urasil, thymine and guanine carryout replication of DNA information or aiding the cell in protein production.
Meiosis occurs when two cells formed via mitoses are splint into haploid or sex cells that contain half the number of genetic material. The same punnant squares are used to examine the probability of phenotype - brown eyes or red roses- or expressed traits, and Genotype - blue eyes or white roses.- those hidden in the genes to predict the outcomes from one or more repeated mating of haploid cells from different organisms of the same species, for several generations and reveal how DNA behaves in the same fashion for all living things.
The building blocks of RNA and DNA remain the same in all cases, only two processes of cell reproduction exist, meiosis and mitoses, and the genotype phenotype aspect made possible through DNA and RNA function requires the same types of punnent square diagram.
I hope this answer answers a portion of your question and leads you , via study and brain storming in the direction of a more in depth answer. I will be happy to answer any of your questions.
