Any information on there is two different DNA"s in everyone.

Yes, there are two types of DNA: 1) Nuclear DNA (found in the nucleus) and 2) Mitochondrial DNA (obviously, found in the mitochondria).  Nuclear DNA consists of 23 pairs of chromosomes - 23 from mom and 23 from dad.  Mitochondrial DNA is received from your mom (whether you are a boy or a girl!).  Mitochondrial DNA is circular (nuclear DNA is linear), like bacterial DNA, which is one reason why it is thought that mitochondria may have originally been derived from bacteria.\nThere are only 13 genes in Mitochondrial DNA.  Nuclear DNA contains a lot more genes, with the latest estimates at about 23,000.

I think analyzing the information in DNA has come along way.  This information can be useful for numerous advances in medicine, one being determining ones predisposition of developing certain diseases.  This analysis can take quite a long time but researches are currently working on ways to speed this up, hopefully to less than 1 day.  You can see this article in New Scientist for a further information.  http://www.newscientist.com/article.ns?id=dn9001&feedId=online-news_rss20

I don't think it was their DNA. It was probably meant to mean just that they were happy and had no trouble with each other and they were cool. Then one day they were lead into temptation and the sinned and they were then separated from God somewhat... therefore they had to live without his help.

This is not an idle claim.\n\nW.r.t. that specific claim about similarities between the DNA of humans and bananas in particular, I found both creationist and scientific references that attribute that quote to distinguished UK Zoologist, Sir Robert May in New Scientist magazine (July 1, 2000).  Unfortunately, I'm not a subscriber to the magazine so I can't get the full article.\n\nBut I found a nice article that explains well what it means when we talk about (and quantify) similarities between human and plant DNA.  For example, the author (geneticist Flo Pauli from Stanford) shows side-by-side human and plant genetic sequences for a protein used in cell respiration found in both plants and animals.  The similarities are shown in red and you can see that there are lots of differences, but also a lot of long sequences in common. \n\nhttp://www.thetech.org/genetics/ask.php?id=83\n\nThis does not make the human and chimp similarities irrelevant at all ... it strengthens the idea that *all* living life forms are related by common descent.  The more recent the common ancestor, the higher the percentage of shared DNA.  This is completely independent evidence of the theory of evolution, which was formulated long before DNA was discovered.

They are different varieties due to different in DNA color sequence.This is regulated by gene regulation and expression by making novel proteins.

They have to do this because only certain parts of DNA are used to ID people. And so much of DNA is similar they prove identity with statistics. So the likelihood of the DNA being the specific person is 1 in 20000 and that linked with other evidence is often more than enough to prove guilt or whatever. There is a law of probability and when things are put together it is very reliable.\n\nOk I am adding on in response to your question. I have consulted a textbook and think that the test described above is pretty conclusive. The textbook describes running a gel with the DNA fragments on it. They space out and are very obviously different to each other and are compared to the original. (see example of gel here http://gallery.hd.org/_c/natural-science/_more1999/_more05/DNA-genetic-fingerprinting-dark-bands-in-gel-are-almost-unique-for-a-given-individual-tweaked-1-AJHD.jpg.html) . Another thing mentioned in my textbook is taking samples from commnunities to compare blood samples. So one could suggest that they took samples of blood from 20000 people in the neighbourhood and only the one persons blood dna fingerprint matched up.

Scientists said Thursday that they had discovered a tiny genetic mutation that largely explains the first appearance of white skin in humans tens of thousands of years ago, a finding that helps solve one of biology’s most enduring mysteries and illuminates one of humanity’s greatest sources of strife. \n\nThe work suggests that the skin-whitening mutation occurred by chance in a single individual after the first human exodus from Africa, when all people were brown-skinned. \n\nThat person’s offspring apparently thrived as humans moved northward into what is now Europe, helping to give rise to the lightest of the world’s races. … \n\nThe newly found mutation involves a change of just one letter of DNA code out of the 3.1 billion letters in the human genome—the complete instructions for making a human being. \n\n“It’s a major finding in a very sensitive area,” said Stephen Oppenheimer, an expert in anthropological genetics at Oxford University who was not involved in the work. “Almost all the differences used to differentiate populations from around the world really are skin-deep.” … \n\nThe discovery, described in today’s issue of the journal Science, was an unexpected outgrowth of studies that study leader Keith Cheng and his colleagues were conducting on inch-long zebrafish, which are popular research tools for geneticists and developmental biologists. \n\nHaving identified a gene that, when mutated, interferes with its ability to make its characteristic black stripes, the team scanned human DNA databases to see if a similar gene resides in people. \n\nTo their surprise, they found virtually identical pigment-building genes in humans, chickens, dogs, cows and many other species, an indication of its biological value. \n\nThey got a bigger surprise when they looked in a new database comparing the genomes of four of the world’s major racial groups. That showed that whites with Northern and Western European ancestry have a mutated version of the gene.\n\nSo, what does this mean?  It strikes a blow into everyone, from the racist white right to the black nationalist left, who seeks to elevate one race over another.  In short, we are all niggers now. \n\nBut here’s a thought.  If white people came from black people, and black people were the first people on Earth, and God made man in His image, then God is black.  Chew on that one for a while.

Here are good sites, with some general and specic information (follow the links for your favorite disease).  \n\nGenetests, NCBI and OMIM.  You will have to navigate the sites to mine for info.\n\nThese sites were provideded by a Yale professor who specialized in DNA diagnostics. \n\nI got an "A" in the class, and you will look very bright in your upcoming seminar by reviewing this material too.  These  are superb resources.\n\nPass on this great Karma.\n\nBest Wishes!

sooo, i only share 50% of my DNA with my dad, whom i actually look like; and you want to tell me that this ape has more in common with me than my dad: whose genes i actually have?  your logic is screwed up.

Generally there are different types of DNA(A,B,Z ,e.c.t)\nBut DNA occure in different shapes thats because of Major and Minor grooves of the DNA

I did a PJAS (pennsylvania junior academy of science) project on ths exact subject. The outcome was that identical twins have the same type of fingerprints and that they are the same.

there are people with genetic disorders as stated, one is lupus but that is more toward the werewolf myth, the other is porphyria which is a hereditary stress brought on disease in which you are alergic to sunlight, the smell of garlic, and you crave something in other peoples blood because your blood doesnt create a required item.  another thing that led to this myth is the fact that people used to be burried alive when they were in comas, and when dug up they had moved in their graves, because they were suffocating, when staked squeals and what appeared to be fresh blood were seen and heard because of the air being released from the lungs and the people werent enbalmed back then\ni hope this helps
