They say siblings share about 50% of their DNA. Yet it is also said that bananas and humans share 50-60% of their genetic material. What exactly is each claim referring to?
In: Biology
Humans share damn near 100% of our dna with each other. That small amount we don’t is the novel information that makes each of us different. That 50% is referring to the novel information. The 60% for banana is saying 40% of the dna is novel between the two species. Not the best at explaining but hope this helps
