GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -We’ve long known that we’re closely related to chimpanzees and other primates, but did you know that humans also share more than half of our genetic material with chickens, fruit flies, and bananas?

Detailed explanation-2: -So while a banana is 60% genetically similar to humans, only 1.2% of our DNA is shared.

Detailed explanation-3: -All human beings are 99.9 percent identical in their genetic makeup. Differences in the remaining 0.1 percent hold important clues about the causes of diseases.

Detailed explanation-4: -Cavendish bananas are all genetically identical. Each banana you buy in the store is the clone of the one next to it. Every banana plant being grown for export is really part of the same plant, a collective organism larger than any other on earth, far bigger than the clonal groves of aspens.
