10 Interesting Facts About DNA

1. All human DNA structures are 99.9% similar, and the remaining 0.01% are enough to tell different individuals.

2. If it is not wrapped, the DNA in all the cells in your body extends 10 billion miles, from here to Pluto and back.

3. Nearly 2 grams of DNA can hold all digitally stored information in the world.

4. The DNA inside each cell is about 2 meters in length, but is limited to no more than 0.09 mm.

5. DNA damage up to 1 million times per cell per day The body has a well-kept system and is constantly active to fix it. Failure to repair DNA can lead to cancer or even cell death.

6. The moon can reach 6000 times if you completely disassemble DNA in all cells of the body.

7. To write a human genome, it will take me to write 60 words / minutes, 8 hours a day and about 50 years.

8. The DNA of certain species such as crayfish, turtle and some fish do not become weaker or collapse during cell proliferation and therefore can live essentially forever.

9. DNA can be stored either as cells on a cotton swab, a buccal brush, frozen blood, or in an extracted form.

10. It is assumed that sane man has spread with primitive humans for tens of thousands of years. DNA evidence has recently begun to provide a real framework for how this happens. I have recently found skeletal jaws (from 30,000 to 40,000 years) indicating the mating of Neanderthal and the father of Homo sapiens in Italy.
