25%. The original parent cell and the third generation of the bacterium will have 25% matching DNA sequences. This is because each generation experiences mutations, which can cause small changes in an organism's inherited traits. The amount of these changes can vary, but on average about 25% of the DNA sequence will remain unchanged.
