All humans share exactly the same genes. Genetic differences between humans do not stem from different individuals possessing different genes but rather different versions (alleles) of the same gene. The precise number of differences is largely dependent on which population you are discussing. Some communities tend to be more genetically uniform (e.g. a population that due to culture or geography is more genetically isolated) others more diverse.
Theoretically speaking, we get 50 percent of our genes from our father and 50 percent of our genes from our mother. Our parents themselves get genes in the same proportion. So basically, you get 25 percent genes from each grandparent because your parent has 50 percent genes from each grandparent and then you get 50 percent of that 50 percent, that is, 25 percent.
Flies have the same type of DNA as we do. Except their genes are not the same. We don't need genes to make wings but they do. . They have 8 chromosomes and humans have 46. And humans and flies have 60% the same genes.
46
Even though yeasts are single-celled organisms and humans are not they do share genes that would show they have a common ancestry. Some of the housekeeping genes are the same in yeasts and in humans. One of those housekeeping genes that enables energy to be obtained from the breakdown of sugars.
Humans have around 20,000 genes.
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
0.1 percent
False its 5 not 25

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.
Humans have about 20, 000 to 25,000 genes.
Genes ARE heredity.
Homologous control genes serve similar functions in animals as different as insects and humans- even though those animals haven't shared a common ancestor in at least 700 million years!
Humans and cats share about 90% of their DNA. The genetic similarities are evident in various aspects, such as the structure and function of certain genes controlling traits like metabolism and immune response.
We design probes to be specific so that they will hybridize only to the target gene but not to random, unrelated genes. A probe hybridizes to a sequences to which it is complementary to. Consequently, the longer the probe is, the more specific it will be.

Gene transfer is when unrelated genetic information is inserted into cells. This is in the form of DNA.
