DNA codes for the amino acids in proteins. The DNA code indicates the sequence of amino acids in a protein. The sequence of amino acids determines the three-dimensional structure of the protein, which determines its function.

DNA codes for proteins, which are organic compounds made up of amino acids. Each protein is made based on the instructions provided by the DNA sequence, allowing the body to carry out various functions and processes.
Considering the "Dogma of Biology", DNA encodes an RNA molecule ina process called transcription.
Cells use nucleic acids, specifically DNA and RNA, to store genetic information. These molecules are composed of nucleotides which contain the genetic code.
In addition to the proteins mentioned, genes can code for a wide variety of other proteins such as enzymes, hormones, antibodies, and structural proteins. These proteins play important roles in various biological processes within the body.
RNA translates the genetic code contained within a cell. DNA stores the genetic information but RNA is responsible for translating this information into proteins through a process called protein synthesis.
Some organic compounds found in the body include carbohydrates, lipids (fats), proteins, and nucleic acids (DNA, RNA). These compounds play important roles in various biological processes such as energy production, structural support, and genetic information storage and expression.
Somatic cells are body cells which are important part of the body's multicellularity and function. So they should have same DNA code in order to maintain a balance in the functioning of the body. And except sex cells (gamates) all the cells of human body (i.e. somatic cells) have the same DNA code. Another reason for this is mitosis. As body cells arise from mitosis, the division is conservative and doesn't involve any process of inducing variation in the cells, hence all the cells originating from it have the same DNA code.
