It's probably a fairly small proportion. According to evolutionary biologist Robert May, President of Britain's Royal Society, "We share half our genes with the banana" (2001), but genes only make up 2% of human DNA - the answer depends on what proportion of the remaining 98% is the same. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and bananas 11 pairs - even if the 11 banana chromosomes were identical to human ones (they're not) it would still mean that less than half of human DNA would be found in a banana.
very interesting, You know, I’d like to know what percentage of DNA Chimps share with mushrooms?
If less, then are we really just Chimps that ate a bunch of mushrooms (likely hallucinogenic, repeat offenders over centuries?).
It’d explain why we share so many of the same viruses that fungi have. Why fungi (penicillin) has saved our lives. Why our brains work the way they do.... mycelium? It’s a fun thought, for sure. But, I’d love to see more research done in the field of mycology... Could that save humanity?
heres a mycologist working on the mystery of the mushroom. Future smart kids of the world, consider this field. This should be funded as big as NASA.
do your research on this guy, Paul Stamets. Think for yourselves. Be good to each other.

Humans share approximately 60% of their DNA with spider plants. This is due to common genetic sequences that have been preserved throughout evolution.
No, dandelions and humans do not share a significant amount of DNA. Dandelions belong to the plant kingdom, while humans are animals. While all living organisms share some basic genetic building blocks, the overall genetic makeup of dandelions and humans is distinct.
Human and cabbage DNA are not very similar. While both are composed of genetic material, humans and cabbages are different species with distinct genetic characteristics. The DNA sequences, gene structure, and overall genetic makeup between humans and cabbages are vastly different.
Humans and horses share about 60-65% of their DNA. Both species belong to the same evolutionary lineage, which explains the degree of genetic similarity between them.
No, humans and grass do not share DNA. Humans belong to the animal kingdom, while grass belongs to the plant kingdom. Both kingdoms have their own distinct cellular and genetic structures that make them different from each other.
Humans share approximately 60% of their DNA with spider plants. This is due to common genetic sequences that have been preserved throughout evolution.
98%
Humans and dogs only share about 25% of the exact same DNA or genome sequence. They also have a different number of chromosomes. Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes and dogs have 39 pairs.
Humans share about 70-75% of their DNA with snails. This similarity is due to shared genetic sequences that have been conserved over evolutionary time.
First answerThe percentage of similarity that Billy goats and humans share is astounding. These animals both require food, water, and love.Second answerApart from those mentioned above, humans and goats share a large portion of similar DNA because they are both mammals. I would guess that they share at least 90%.
100%
Humans and reptiles share approximately 80% of their DNA, indicating a common ancestry in evolutionary terms. This shared genetic code includes fundamental genes that determine basic biological functions and characteristics. Differences in the remaining 20% of DNA account for the distinct traits and features that separate humans and reptiles.
You share 99.8% of your DNA with your science teacher because you are both humans. You share 98.4% of your DNA with chimpanzees.
Yes, and they share a significant amount of identical DNA even though their common ancestor is back in the precambrian.
60-80%
No, dandelions and humans do not share a significant amount of DNA. Dandelions belong to the plant kingdom, while humans are animals. While all living organisms share some basic genetic building blocks, the overall genetic makeup of dandelions and humans is distinct.
DNA profiling proved that we share 98% of our DNA with primates.
