DNA FUN FACTS!
* DNA
in hair, blood, etc. left behind on crime scenes can be used to track culprits
and or confirm the guilt of suspects.
* DNA Typing is a process where DNA is taken out of a biological sample collected from a person which then is analyzed. Once the process is complete it comes up with a completely unique "DNA Profile" for everyone.
* Identical twins have the only exception to unique DNA Profile. They can have the same if not slightly different DNA Profiles.
* 1 million bases (a megabase) of DNA sequence data is about the same as 1 megabyte of computer data storage space.
* If you unwrap all of the DNA you have in all your cells you could reach the sun and back 600 times
* Humans and chimps share somewhere between 94-99 percent of their DNA.
* Cabbages and humans have about 40-50 percent DNA that is similar.
* DNA can replicate itself
* You could fit one million threads of DNA across the period of this sentence.
Nucleotides are basically the alphabet of DNA.
