Here you can know 25 incredible facts about DNA.
- DNA is also known asDeoxyribonucleus Acids.
- It is made up of four blocks units which are known as Adenine , Guanine, cytocine & Thymine.
- It stores genetic information & transfer from one generation to another generation.
- There were so many ancient viruses present that Infect human beings but intresting thing about DNA is today, 8%DNA of human are made up of those viruses.
- Human DNA is 95%identical to chimpanzees. Shocking thing about Human DNA is50%identical to bananas DNA! It's unbelievable!
- Do you know 1 single gram of DNA is capable of holding 700 tetrabytes of data.
- If you have 2 grams of DNA, now you can store all digital information from whole world.
- Human penis that once used to be spiny. Luckily! That code which made penis spiny was lost. That Good for us.
- Scientists found that throughout 510 DNA codes was lost during human evolution.
- DNA is present in each and every cell of human body. Each DNA strand 1. 8meter long but squeezed into space of 0.09 micro meter.
- If you unwind the whole molecules of DNA in human body it's distance covers 10 millions miles! That is the distance covered in a trip from earth to pluto & back pluto to earth.
- The center of our galaxy milky way contains Molecular precursors of DNA.
- The DNA in every cells of human body damaged 1000 to 1millions time in a single day. But we are lucky it repairs also!
- It will takes 50 years to type entire humans Genome if someone types at the speed of60 wpm(words per minutes) and work 8hours day.
- Human DNA is much similar to mud worms than other invertebrates such as cockroches or octopus.
- 99.9%DNA is identical in all humans on the Earth. Only 0.1%DNA is different us from one to another.
- DNA is first discovered in year 1869by a man named friedrich Miescher.
- In prior time scientist believed that genetic information is stored in proteins but actually it is stored in DNA.
- DNA can be damaged by sun's ultra violet rays. Most of them are repaired, unrepaired gene causes Mutation, most of them are bad&some can be good also.
- According to researchers, DNA has half life of521 years. This means the oldest animal or organisam that can be Clone back to to life cannot be older than 2 million years.
- If someone undergoes bone narrow transplant the recepient may or may not have DNA of donor.
- Are you know DNA is made up phosphorus. "Phosphorus is found in earth&rock crust"
- DNA is capable for replicating & duplicating itself. It is capable of making copy of itself.
- DNA have also genome(sequence of DNA)! One genome contains 3,000,000,000 DNA bases .
- DNA is unique. If one base pair of gene is altered(mutations) in human it cause many problems in life.
