If we didn't have junk DNA any mutation would cause damage to essential sequences of DNA and likely kill the host. It would be to dangerous to be in the sun because uv radiation cause mutations. However most of the mutation occur in the non essentioal junk DNA thus protecting essential DNA.

DNA which doesn't carry the information to make proteins. Originally thought to be "junk", but people are finding that it does have functions.
What would happen if human DNA was mixed with gorilla DNA?
There will be no human
Why can't they call the extra pieces of DNA that we didn't need or use junk DNA?
They are called non-coding DNA. It was called "junk DNA" at one time by people doing research on DNA because they didn't think these DNA codes had any use. Now they know that they have uses and so have stopped using that name "junk DNA".
What is the holder and protector of the DNA?
The nucleus, but telomeres protect DNA by adding junk DNA to the ends that way the exons do not get messed with. The 5' Cap and the Poly-A Tail are the two ends of the DNA with junk DNA, or introns.
Why are introns considered junk DNA?
because everyone is differentWHO WOULD ASK SOMETHING SOO STUPID
What would happen to a cell or organism if DNA did not got through replication?
It would not be a cell or organism as we understand it. DNA replication is the main event and if DNA had a purpose this would be it.
