Interesting Facts About DNA

Recently, I've read a book about DNA. I found that there are many mind-boggling facts about DNA which contains the genetic instructions used in the development and functioning of all known living organisms and some viruses. So I think I should share these interesting facts with other people. Here are some wacky facts about DNA:

1. Humans share 50% of their DNA with bananas.
2. Cells can contain 6-9 feet of DNA. The total length of DNA in a human body equals to 600 times the distance of the Earth and the Sun. (The distance of the Earth and the Sun=149,597,870 Km)
3. DNA in all humans is 99.9 percent identical. It is about one tenth of one percent that makes us all unique, or about 3 million nucleotides difference.
4. DNA can store 25 gigabytes of information per inch and is the most efficient storage system known to human. So, humans are better than computers!!
5. In an everage meal, you eat approximately 55,000,000 cells or between 63,000 to 93,000 miles of DNA.
6. Human DNA contains 3.1 billion nucleotides (A,T,C,G) base units; if each nucleotide represented a letter on an encyclopedia page, you could stack the pages 65 feet high!!

Allah's creations are great and uncomparable. Subhanallah!!
