The purpose of DNA in living creatures is to provide a blue print for genetic information, that can be coded. This helps replicate and replace damaged tissue in our bodies.

How is jellyfish DNA different from human DNA?

The only thing I can add at this point, is: Human DNA/ Chimp DNA 98% match, versus Human DNA/ Rhesus Monkey DNA 95% match.

Therefore, Human DNA/ Jellyfish DNA = (60%?) match?
