Chapter 15.5, Problem 1MC
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The information that researchers can gain by comparing the humans and chimpanzee genome sequences.
Concept introduction:
The humans and chimpanzees shared a common ancestor about 6 million years ago. They diverged from their common ancestors to evolve parallel to each other. The humans differ considerably from chimpanzees in both appearance and cognitive ability. The comparison of genome sequences of both humans and chimpanzees can tell us what genomic changes lead to the evolution of modern humans.
