Bet you didn't know that...

Did you know your actually related to bananas? We share about 50% of the same DNA.

Ponder that.

Then go hug a banana.

You've just been reconnected with a long-lost relative.

And now you'll probably never be able to eat another banana.



Discuss.

Then you go hug a mushroom.  I would rather be related to a banana.  They're yellow.  And they look happy.

50% of our DNA is different than what you'reprobably thinking of.

No it was in her textbook.  And her teacher, who has contributed to a few biology textbooks, said it was true.

That's why I don't eat mushrooms. However, I have a personal grudge against Bananas, so I don't really care about eating them  smile

We share 90% of our DNA with cats.  Go hug a cat.

Re: Bet you didn't know that...

Our DNA is similar (even if very, very slightly) to all eukaryotic life (which is basically everything besides protozoans), so if we ate no relatives, we'd die out.

Death to bananas!

We could live off of cyanobacteria. or artificially made glucose.

But, this only applies if you assume that the theory of evolution PLUS all its accompanying theories are true. Which I don't.

Actually, everything is related.  smile

They're made up of the same things, like particles, molecules, atoms, nuclei and neurons.

Re: Bet you didn't know that...

Go hug a cracker.
Go hug a pie.
Go hug a pie with your face.
Go hug an epic fail, because I failed epically.

So we're related to guinea pigs IN REAL LIFE. Google it. Their DNA is a lot like human DNA.
