Yes. I think the number is actually closer to 98% shared. Most of the differences between a bonobo and a human being are not so much that we have different genes (a lot of the 2% difference between bonobos and human genes is trivial) but rather we use the same set of genes differently. A rather crude analogy is that humans and bonobos are like two houses both built using all same the construction materials and techniques, but according to slightly different blueprints.

What percent of DNA do humans share with strawberries?
60-80%
Which primate is closest relative of modern man?
Bonobos , Orang utans and Chimps. Bonobos share 99% of their DNA with us. Orang utans share 96.4% of their DNA with us and Chimpanzees share 98.5% of their DNA with us humans... who knows there might be a type of primate out there that has not been discovered yet that shares more of their DNA with us the Bonobos.
How much DNA do humans share with cats?
Humans and cats have similar x and y chromosomes and have the same ancestor from the past. Cats and humans share 90 percent of homologous genes.
Is it a fact that humans are primates?
Absolute unquestioned fact. Christians even agree that humans are a species of primate. Scientists all agree that humans are a species of Great Ape (a group of primates that includes Bonobos, Chimpanzees, Orangutans, Gorillas).
What species shares the least DNA with humans?
Although it is commonly known that chimpanzees are 99% human, the most updated studies show that they still have the closest DNA to humans of all the other animals, but are rather closer to 95% human.
What percentage of DNA do humans and reptiles share?
More than 98%, according to Jonathan Marks Department of Anthropology University of California, Berkeley
What percentage of DNA do humans share with a spider plant?
Humans share at least some genes (DNA) with all living organisms. As far as plants, it is around 15%.
Are humans more closley related to the lupus or wild dog?
Well that all depends on what you want to compare us to. We are most closly related to Chimpanzes and Bonobos. We share 98% of our DNA with them. Note: we did not evolve from chimps but we do share a common ancestor (the missing link you probably hear about).
How similar is human and cabbage DNA?
While plants and humans are very different, they do have quite a bit of DNA similarities. Humans share approximately 40-50% of DNA with cabbage. Humans share over 60% of DNA with insects, and 98% with chimps.
What percentage of DNA do humans share with an ant?
Cats and humans share similar X and Y chromosomes, in fact the two species shared a common ancestor about 90 million years ago and share 90% of (homologous) genes with humans
What percentage of DNA do humans share with rats?
98%
