One thing about DNA that I find very fascinating is the fact that our DNA can reach the moon 6000 times. I find this fact about DNA to be fascinating because human beings only grow to be about 5 feet 10 inches tall and the distance from earth to the moon is 249433 miles which is a very large scale distance. I can't believe that something inside our body can go so much further than we can.
Another interesting fact about DNA is that we have 94-99% of it incomes with chimps. I find this interesting because most of us have such different facial appearance from apes for example the amount of hair on our body, our face ( the way it looks for example the shape and size). I also find this interesting because in Charles Derwin's theory of evolution it state that we evolved from ape like creatures and I find this fascinating because a creatures that is so similar acts so different.
One more fascinating aspect of DNA is that in everyone's DNA there is 1-4% similar to that of a Neanderthals DNA which means that at some point in history homosapiens and Neanderthals mated. I think that this is wired because I have DNA from an ape like being. I also find it fascinating that two different looking beings mated because I couldn't imagine a human and a monkey mating.
Another fascinating aspect of DNA I found is about the human genome. I find it interesting that if you could type 60 words per minute, eight hours a day, it would take approximately 50 years to type the human genome. I also found it interesting because DNA is mainly maid of adenine, guanine, thymine, and cytosine.
