You are right. I believe it would be correct to say that we (all life)
share the "house keeping" genes with bacteria. I don't know how to
calculate the fraction, so please enlighten me if you do. The
animal/plant split would be close to the LUCA of all life >4 Gya.
that would pretty much kill the idea that we share 50% of our DNA with
plants or bacteria.
It is an interesting thought and conversation. I asked the AI how much
DNA I share is a sisters.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
On average, siblings share about 50% of their DNA with each other 12.
This is because they inherit half of their DNA from each parent, but the
exact 50% they inherit from each parent is random 3.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
How is that possible if I share 92% of my DNA with a Chimp?

It is true that humans share about 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees 1. However, the amount of DNA shared between siblings is different from the
amount of DNA shared between humans and chimpanzees. On average,
siblings share about 50% of their DNA with each other 12. This is
because they inherit half of their DNA from each parent, but the exact
50% they inherit from each parent is random 3.
I hope this clears up any confusion! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊

How is the DNA shared with my sister different than the DNA I share
with a Chimp? THat makes no sense.

I understand your confusion. The amount of DNA shared between siblings
is different from the amount of DNA shared between humans and
chimpanzees. On average, siblings share about 50% of their DNA with each
other 12. This is because they inherit half of their DNA from each
parent, but the exact 50% they inherit from each parent is random 12 .
On the other hand, humans share about 98% of their DNA with chimpanzees
13. However, the DNA sequences that differ between humans and
chimpanzees are responsible for the differences in physical and
behavioral traits between the two species 3.
I hope this clears up any confusion! Let me know if you have any other questions. 😊
Searching for: why do humans share more dna with chimps than siblings
Generating answers for you…
Humans share 99%+ of their DNA with chimpanzees 1. This is because
humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor that lived about 6-7
million years ago 2. On the other hand, siblings share only 50% of their
DNA with each other 3. This is because each parent passes on only half
of their DNA to their offspring 3. Therefore, it is possible that you
share more DNA with a chimpanzee than with your sister due to the fact
that you share a lot of DNA with chimpanzees and only half of your DNA
with your sister 312.

I apologize for the confusion. Can you please let me know what is

I apologize for the confusion. Thank you for bringing this to my
attention. You are correct that humans share more DNA with their
siblings than with chimpanzees. Humans share approximately 50% of their
DNA with their siblings, while they share 99%+ of their DNA with
chimpanzees 123. I hope this clears up any confusion. If you have any

So how is it possible that I share more DNA with a Chimp than my
sister. My sister and I share an ancestor only one generation ago and
chimps and Humans share an ancestory 6 million years ago.

Generating answers for you…
The reason you share more DNA with a chimp than your sister is because
you and the chimp share a common ancestor more recently than you and
your sister do 1. While it is true that humans and chimpanzees share a
common ancestor from about 6 million years ago, the genetic similarity
between the two species is still quite high, with about 98.5% sequence
identity 1.
As for your sister, while it is true that you share an ancestor with her
only one generation ago, it is important to note that you and your
sister do not inherit the exact same DNA from your parents 2. The DNA
that you inherit from your parents is a random mix of their DNA, and the
same is true for your sister. Therefore, it is possible that you and
your sister share less DNA than you do with a more distant relative,
such as a cousin 23.
I hope this helps clarify your question!
SO I share more DNA with a Chimp than my sister?
Generating answers for you…
Yes, that’s correct! As I mentioned earlier, the reason you share more
DNA with a chimp than your sister is because you and the chimp share a
common ancestor more recently than you and your sister do . While it is
true that humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor from about 6
million years ago, the genetic similarity between the two species is
still quite high, with about 98.5% sequence identity .
As for your sister, while it is true that you share an ancestor with her
only one generation ago, it is important to note that you and your
sister do not inherit the exact same DNA from your parents . The DNA
that you inherit from your parents is a random mix of their DNA, and the
same is true for your sister. Therefore, it is possible that you and
your sister share less DNA than you do with a more distant relative,
such as a cousin .
I hope this helps clarify your question!
No that is not right. I share more DNA with a sister than a Chimp.

I apologize for the confusion in my previous response. You are correct
that you share more DNA with your sister than with a chimpanzee. Humans
and chimpanzees share about 98.5% sequence identity 1, while siblings
share approximately 50% of their physical DNA 2.
The reason for this discrepancy is that the percentage of genetic
similarity between two individuals depends on how much of the DNA is
being compared and how specific the comparison is 23. While humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor from about 6 million years ago, you
and your sister share a common ancestor from only one generation ago 1. Therefore, it is expected that you share more DNA with your sister than
with a chimpanzee.
I hope this clears up any confusion. Please let me know if you have any
further questions!
what is the difference between physical DNA and sequence identity?

Copy
Searching for: difference between physical DNA and sequence identity
Generating answers for you…
Physical DNA refers to the actual physical structure of the DNA
molecule, which is made up of a double helix of nucleotides 1. Sequence identity, on the other hand, refers to the degree of similarity between
two DNA sequences, which is usually expressed as a percentage of the
number of nucleotides that are identical between the two sequences 2.
For example, if two DNA sequences are compared and 90% of the
nucleotides are found to be identical, then the sequence identity
between the two sequences is 90%. Sequence identity is an important
measure of the evolutionary relationship between two organisms, as it
can provide insight into how closely related they are 2.
I hope this helps clarify the difference between physical DNA and
sequence identity. Let me know if you have any further questions!
How much sequence identity do I share with a sister?

Copy
Searching for: sequence identity with sister
Generating answers for you…
The degree of sequence identity between two individuals depends on the
specific DNA sequences being compared. However, siblings share
approximately 50% of their DNA sequence identity 12. This is because
each sibling inherits half of their DNA from their mother and half from
their father. While the specific DNA sequences inherited by each sibling
can vary, they will share approximately half of their DNA with each other.
I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
