what does hvaing similar genes meands
No matter how different all living things may look, we all have things in common. Monkeys, people, lizards and frogs all need to breathe, see, move around, etc. These common activities are the result of common genes. So creatures that have to do similar things will often share similar DNA.o these genes will stay the same (or very similar) in all living creatures. These three reasons are why your DNA is 99% identical to a chimpanzee's. And it's 95% identical to a monkey's. And why you are about 79% identical to a mouse and even 36% identical to a little fruit fly!
