It consists of every living cell, and DNA is found in the cell.
So what is DNA and why is the genetic

structure of being is different, it consists the same nucleotides in every being ?
There are four types of nucleotids. There are no rules when sequencing the nucleotides that make up
DNA. Each being has a different nucleotide sequence .The information belonging to the DNA of a
creature is encrypted in nucleotides. A gene is a sequence of nucleotides that make up a specific part
of DNA. Our characteristics are in the genes. There is much more information in these genes than just
appearance. Each gene carries the information necessary for the construction of certain proteins
necessary for an organism. Which brings us to what we really need to focus on, genomes. The genome
is the DNA molecules of an organism.Each genome has the information necessary for the structure of
an organism. Our body is made up of millions of cells. Genes make up genomes. The number of
protein coding genes in the human genome is 20,687.
The question is, what makes us different from other living species or even other humans?
The answer is not simple.

Humans are not unique. Human has always been considered independent to other animals.The reason
for this is that, humans are able to use their mind while their think.
But this does not make us different from other animals in a real sense.No matter what features
scientists have considered, they have always found that there are simpler versions in nature.
For example
Human ability to make and build tools: Ravens use stones to break eggs.
Human long-term memory trait : A bird species named Clark's nutcrackers remembers where they put
seeds in the last 6 months.
But human gene codes are not the same as any animal, there is a genetic similarity.
Genetic similarity is the similarity ratio of the genomes of two species or groups of species considered
to each other.The animal that is similar to humans is the chimpanzee. Our DNA is 98% similar to
chimpanzees. Although a 2% difference may not sound like a lot, it actually represents millions of
different locations in the genome where variation can occur, and equates to a surprisingly large
number of unique DNA sequences.
So what makes us different from other people?

Like all living beings on Earth, human being is the result of an evolutionary development that has been
going on for millions of years. The hereditary material that determines our development and
appearance is passed down from generation to generation. Humans share 99.9% of the same inherited
materials. Such a considerable difference 0.1% makes that we can have such different like skin color,
different eye shape and different hair.
Think about it ,however we all get our genes from our parents,we are still different. What is the reason
then?
The DNA of two people extracts a brand new DNA code. This may also explain siblings who look
very different despite having the same parent.
Here, the door of all our differences opens to that 0.1% varriation in genome.
Scientists explain this in terms of Genotype and Phenotype.
Example 1: Let's take our ears for instance. There are 2 types of ears in humans, including scooped
and conjoined. Maybe you have a scoop-shaped version of a gene of your father and a conjoined-
shaped version of this gene of your mother. This is your genotype. Now let’s figure out what kind of
ears do you really have? The respond will be “ Scoop” . This is your phenotype.
The ear example refers to an important milestone. Some genes are dominant, others are recessive.
When you have two different genes for the same trait and one is dominant (scooped ears) and the other
is recessive (conjoined ears), it is the dominant trait that wins in the phenotype.
The recessive trait is supposed to prove itself in the phenotype, the recessive trait needs to be taken
from both parents.
But not all genes chase this dominant/recessive pattern.
Example 2:, the blood group gene is dominant; if you get a gene for A type blood group from one
parent and B type blood group from the other, non of them is dominant. Instead, you will have AB
type blood group.
And the answer to this question leads us to the very initial part of the article again, as it has been
proven, there are no rules for sequencing nucleotides. In the sole sense of the word, the way the
nucleotides are arranged,clarifies the characteristics that shape us as who we are like.
