 * Unless you are an identical twin, your DNA is unique.
 * Fingerprints are unique to each person, even identical twins.
 * Your gender and physical characteristics are determined by your DNA.
 * Genes exist in pairs; one half comes from a person's mother and the other half from the individual's father.
 * Humans have at least 30,000 genes.
 * Goldfish have more genes than humans do.
