How close does our DNA match that of monkey DNA? and what are the differences in the DNA?

Question

Also what is RNA? (i just saw it in a question, not sure what it is)

Answer 1

And monkeys, humans, and whales breath the same air. Which proves...

Answer 2

Human DNA is very close to the chimpanzee DNA. The chromosomes and their utilities are all in the same spots. There is one major difference - in humans, the second chromosome is combined, while in chimps and other great apes it is still separate as second and third.

It is obvious that at some point two chromosomes combined into one in humans, since our second chromosome still has a vestigial centromere and vestigal telomeres in the middle.

Answer 3

For all you know, every living thing has thesame-looking DNA.

Answer 4

In order for the DNA to get to the ribosomes to start producing proteins, it splits in half...which becomes the RNA...(because the DNA cant fit past the nucleus.) There are many kinds of RNA...the first kind used is mRNA which is messenger RNA...this is what leaves the nucleus to the ribomes..theres a bunch of processes involved in this but im just giving you the main idea.

our DNA is identicle to that of a monkey's except I believe one chromosome is different...I could be wrong but all I know is they are basically the same

Answer 5

Gen 1:24¶And God said, Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, cattle, and creeping thing, and beast of the earth after his kind: and it was so.

Gen 1:25And God made the beast of the earth after his kind, and cattle after their kind, and every thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind: and God saw that [it was] good.

Gen 2:7   And the LORD God formed man [of] the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

***

Beast and man were both formed from the earth and that is why our DNA is similar.  Monkeys aren't the only ones who share similar DNA to humans.

Answer 6

In all your cells is your unique DNA. To be precise, its in the cell nucleus. A small piece of DNA creates a copy of itself called RNA which then moves out of the nucleus, where it tells other bits (called "ribosomes") what proteins to make. Making proteins is what causes all the things in your body to happen. So RNA is like 'messenger dna'.

I dont know exactly how similar the monkey and human dna is, but its >99% the same i believe.

Answer 7

they say it's like 95% similar to a chimpanzee's genome  (advice: dont call chimpanzees monkeys, you'll make yourself look dumb if you do, monkeys have tails)

Answer 8

I was wrong in my last answer - it's about 95% - still very close!

Oh, and a monkey is not a chimp - they are different
