Does 50% chicken DNA means it's proportionally made of 50% chicken? I would be very surprised if DNA concentration was in any way proportional to actual volume

Does 50% chicken DNA means it's proportionally made of 50% chicken? I would be very surprised if DNA concentration was in any way proportional to actual volume or weight concentration, especially if you compare plant DNA to animal DNA.
- Noumenon72 10y agoMost plants have duplicated sets of chromosomes. Wheat has five times as many genes as humans, for example. Also, meat is made of striated muscle cells and those are huge. Though they are multinucleated so I don't know which ends up being more dense in DNA.
