All DNA is made up of the same building blocks arranged on the same double helix. The difference is how the nucleotides (A,T,C,G) are arranged and how many chromosomes there are.
While most of the DNA of trees and humans are arranged differently, there are some parts that are very similar. After all, they are both made up of living cells. It took a long, long time, and some very special DNA arrangements, to get to the point of having a single living cell, a one-celled organism. Parts of the genome of a multicelled organism, such as a tree or a human being, still make use of those old blueprints.
Human DNA is likely more similar to plants than different. For example, we share approximately 60% of our DNA with a banana plant (Source: genome dot gov site - search for: How similar is human DNA to plant DNA?)

Many phylogenetic trees are based on DNA sequence similarities What is the practical result of this similarity?
Species with very similar DNA will have similar structures, enzymes, and appearance.
Do animals have a DNA?
No. But the chimpanzee's DNA is similar to ours by 98%People believe that we humans developed from the 'chimpanzee because of how similar our DNA samples. Itis thought that the chimpanzee is as intelligent as ahuman but in different ways.
What is a DNA molecule containing regions from different sources?
Chimeras. In genetic engineering, molecules of combined DNA are known as chimeras because they are produced by combining DNA from different species. Combined DNA is also known as recombinant DNA, since DNA from 2 sources has been recombined to produce it.
What enzyme binds fragments of DNA on the lagging strand?
The enzyme that is used to bind DNA fragments together is DNA ligase. Using DNA ligase to join DNA fragments is the last step in the production of a recombinant DNA plasmid.
What are the four enzymes involved in DNA replication and repair?
DNA polymerase III DNA polymerase I DNA Ligase DNA Helicase
Does evolution determined using similarities in DNA and branching trees?
Determined using similarities in DNA and branching trees
How much DNA do humans share with trees?
Depends, if your talking about yourself, all of it.

Do bananas all have the same DNA?
Chemically DNA from any species is the same. But the things is the sequence of DNA such as AATTTCGAATG for example will not be the same. In fact, the sequence can not be the same from person to person. That is the unique nature of DNA.
What does DNA looks like a?
it sorta looks like two trees entwined together wit the branches fused together
Is it true that some maple trees don't become maple trees when they are adult plants and why?
a maple tree will always be a maple tree.... It's DNA doesn't change.
When monkeys became humans why did they stop climbing trees?
Because of evolution it changes the DNA and the genes so they gradually changed to not wont to climb trees

How do you do a taxonomist experiment to see if two pine trees are of the same species?
A taxonomist could examine the pollen grains of both trees to look for specific differences. If the trees do not have pollen at this time a taxanomical experiment could involve taking DNA samples and comparing the results.
How has the discovery that DNA affect other areas of scientific study outside of genetics?
Evolutionary biology found DNA to be a most exact way of erecting taxonomic trees of organisms and showing common ancestry in a very clear manner.
Do animals have a DNA?
No. But the chimpanzee's DNA is similar to ours by 98%People believe that we humans developed from the 'chimpanzee because of how similar our DNA samples. Itis thought that the chimpanzee is as intelligent as ahuman but in different ways.
How is DNA tested and why?
by DNA fingerprinting method , DNA-DNA hybirdization or DNA sequencing. to know the sequence of DNA
