Answer
spiralLines 1-2: The Milky Way is an example of a spiral galaxy and is found in the constellation Sagittarius.
Lines 3-4: Using poetic license, "quadriletteral" is a fictitious word meaning "consisting for four letters". The "code" refers to the chemical double helix, or spiral structure of DNA, consisting of the four nucleobases - cytosine (C), guanine (G), adenine (A), and thymine (T).
Lines 5-6: In the game of American football, a spiral throw of the football is the preferred way to throw the ball when passing it (making a "possession transference"). The playing surface for the game of football is described as "a lineated field", which simply means that the field is marked with lines which indicate the distance from the goal lines.
