What percentage of its DNA does a human share with a banana?
About 60 percent
Background
A human and a banana share about 60 percent of their DNA. That sounds crazy, but it comes from very old, shared cell building blocks. Almost all life on Earth uses the same basic parts. Still, a human is of course very different from a banana.
