I have heard several figures, but the most believable I've heard was 75% of our DNA being the same as that of a dog even though they have 78 chromosomes while we have 46. We share 50% of our DNA with bananas, same for fruit flies. 97% of our DNA is shared with Chimps.

We will not know the answer to this until the genomes of whale species are sequenced. However, given that whales and humans are mammals, they would be expected to share many similarities.

How much DNA does a human share with a potato?

Humans share very little with a potato. Chromosomes are a collection of DNA woven around protein. A chromosome may contain as many as 100,000 to billions of nucleotides in one chain. Chimpanzee and humans share a very SIMILAR DNA pattern, where as a potato and a human being don't. So although they both have 48 chromosomes, their DNA STUCTURE is vastly different.
