Question

human and chimpanzee sharee roughly how much DNA?
pls answer me
​

Answer 1

Answer:

humans share about 99% of our DNA with chimpanzees, making them our closest living relatives.

Hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

Perhaps that's because orangutans and humans share 97 percent of their DNA sequence, according to an analysis of the great ape's genome published today by an international group of scientists.

Explanation:

The recent sequencing of the gorilla, chimpanzee and bonobo genomes confirms that supposition and provides a clearer view of how we are connected: chimps and bonobos in particular take pride of place as our nearest living relatives, sharing approximately 99 percent of our DNA, with gorillas trailing at 98 percent.

It is easy to feel a kinship with orangutans when looking into their soulful eyes and observing their socially complex behavior. Perhaps that’s because orangutans and humans share 97 percent of their DNA sequence, according to an analysis of the great ape's genome published today by an international group of scientists.

Orangutans, known for their distinctive auburn hair, are primarily tree dwellers native to the Southeast Asian islands of Sumatra and Borneo. The DNA sequence published in the Jan. 27 issue of Nature is from a female Sumatran (Pongo abelii) orangutan. In addition, five Sumatran and five Bornean (Pongo pygmaeus) orangutan genomes were sequenced at a less detailed level. The orangutan is the third non-human primate to have its genome sequenced, after the chimp and rhesus macaque. Of the great apes, orangutans are the most distantly related to humans, while chimpanzees are the most closely related.

Funded in part by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the study was led by scientists from the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis and Baylor College of Medicine, Houston.

Researchers can now leverage the orangutan genome sequence to learn more about the biology of this endangered species and to identify what has been added or deleted in the evolution of primate and human genomes that may have contributed to unique human characteristics.

"The unique evolutionary position of the orangutan can be leveraged to discover parts of the human genome that differ among primates," said NHGRI Director Eric D. Green, M.D., Ph.D. "Sequencing many primate genomes can help us define and understand the conserved DNA sequences that set humans apart from primates."

While humans and orangutans are similar at the DNA level, comparing available primate genome sequences revealed that the orangutan has evolved much more slowly than chimpanzees and humans. The orangutan genome has fewer large DNA sequence structural rearrangements than its chimpanzee and human counterparts. Large genome structural rearrangements are DNA mutations that result in large genomic segments being duplicated, deleted, inserted or inverted.
