"Yes and No, humans share 99.9% of the same genetic material. The .1% is what makes everyone different from one another!"

That .1% isn't actually a difference, it's simply the varying ratio between dormant/active DNA. In other words, everyone has the gene that makes ones skin naturally white or black.

To which species is human DNA closest?

Humans share the closest DNA similarity with chimpanzees among all other species.


Which of the options below best describes all humans have DNA Sasha is a human Sasha has DNA?

Both options correctly state that humans have DNA. The second option is more specific to the scenario provided, as it directly links Sasha being a human with the fact that she has DNA.


What vegetable shares DNA with humans?

All of them do, if you mean vegetables and humans have genes that are identical. While plants and humans are wildly different, every cell has to do specific things to survive, like metabolize sugar or repair damage to their own DNA. That is true for plant cells, human cells, bacterial cells, or any other type of cell. So anything that's made of cells (including single-celled organisms) is living and contains DNA. And some of that DNA will be identical. I feel like I should mention that all cells also have RNA. DNA is used as a recipe to make proteins. However, the mechanism to make proteins is in a different place than where the DNA is housed. RNA is a copy of a small piece of DNA (gene) that can travel to the protein-making machinery.


Do identical twins have the same finger prints and DNA at all?

Yes they do because they are created from the same egg when it splits so they will have the same DNA because they are identical but on the other side regular twins don't have the same DNA because they are from diffrent egg and sperm


How close is human DNA to other animals?

Human DNA is about 99% similar to chimpanzee DNA, our closest living relatives. We also share a high percentage of genetic material with other primates, such as gorillas and orangutans. Overall, humans share varying degrees of genetic similarity with all living organisms due to our shared evolutionary history.

Who said that man's DNA is same as humans?

All humans possess DNA that is nearly identical in terms of sequence and structure. This indicates that the genetic makeup of humans is highly conserved across individuals, with variation typically accounting for less than 0.1% of the total genome.

Why or how are our family members all have DNA that is nearly identical than ours?

Most of DNA is common to all humans. Even 99% is the same as chimps have. The rest is what makes us, us. However there is enough different that we can identify one person from another by their DNA.


When a DNA molecule replicates are the 2 new strands identical?

Yes, they both are [all but] Identical.


Is the DNA in the heart the same DNA in the brain?

Every single cell in the human body contains identical genetic information. Every cell contains all of the information required to create a copy of yourself.


Will DNA from a strawberry look like the DNA model you have been studying?

Yes - the appearance of DNA is identical in all organisms.


How much DNA do humans share with a slug?

Humans and slugs have a very low level of genetic similarity due to a common evolutionary ancestor millions of years ago. The DNA shared between humans and slugs is estimated to be around 70% identical.


Are human beings clones?

No. Nobody has been able to produce a human clone yet, and all humans are a combination of two people's DNA so they cannot be clones.


To what degree are all humans identical at the genetic level?

97%
