Question

A typical prokaryotic cell has about 3,000 genes in its DNA,while a human cell           has about 25,000 genes. About 1,000 of these genes are presentin both types of         cells. Based on your understanding of evolution, explain howsuch different organisms could have the same subset ofgenes. Life saver rating!!!

Explanation / Answer

DNA is used to make individual cells and organisms charcterisitcsby 2 different way first I will start with cells. DNA is the samein every organism but the order of those A's C'sT's G's but in ahuman we all have the 99.9% the same DNA but the reson differentcells look and act different is which of the DNA sequence iscoding. In liver cells the gene might be reading on one part of theDNA but on a Nerve Cell with the same DNA but a different areabeing read so it causes different charcterisitcs. For organisms itis the same idea but different organisms have a different order ofthe DNA and that causes different area to be read and coded fordifferent proteins which makes it different to say a human.Basiclly we have the different subsets because they are just codedthat way... I hope this helps! :)
