First answerThe percentage of similarity that Billy goats and humans share is astounding. These animals both require food, water, and love.Second answerApart from those mentioned above, humans and goats share a large portion of similar DNA because they are both mammals. I would guess that they share at least 90%.
DNA, genes, blood, culture, heritage and often destiny
50% of your DNA will be the same as your mother's, and 50% will be the same as your father's. This is because you receive half of your chromosomes (genetic material) from each parent.
The commonly quoted number is 98.6% genetic relatedness. This is technically correct since our genes are nearly 99% identical. However, this number does not take into account gene duplication and the specific proteins produced by these similar genes. If these are accounted for, the number is more like 94%. This new figure is based on a new method of measurement that was reported in a 2006 paper. I would actually like to see this method used on all other figures. For instance, the results of the bonobo genome project shows we share 98.7% of our DNA. I'm sure this number would be more like 93 point something percent since the project showed bonobos and chimps share 99.6% of their DNA. It is important to note that, despite the change in percentage, chimps are still our closest living animal relatives.
The bonobo and chimpanzee are believed to be the closest living relative to human beings. We may share as much as 90% of the same DNA as pan.
You would share up to 6.25%.
100%
98%
Humans share at least some genes (DNA) with all living organisms. As far as plants, it is around 15%.
You would share up to 12.5%. EDIT: NO, that would be a first cousin. A third cousin would share <1%.
More than 98%, according to Jonathan Marks Department of Anthropology University of California, Berkeley
Humans and dogs only share about 25% of the exact same DNA or genome sequence. They also have a different number of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and dogs have 39 pairs.

You probably share about 50% of your DNA with a sibling. Theoretically, it could be as low as 0 (though that is extremely unlikely). Identically twins share 100%. You always share close to 50% with each parent. But if you are male, you actually have a slightly higher percentage from your mother (because the X chromosome is larger than the Y).
No.
Cousins would share up to 50% of the DNA.
Yes, DNA is a characteristic that all living things share. To be more precise, all living things share a form of genetic material, which is DNA.
