Summary Introduction

To determine: Two changes in chromosome structure that have occurred between the largest human chromosomes and the corresponding chromosomes in gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan.

Introduction: Mutations within pre-existing genes, horizontal gene transfer, and gene duplications are several ways through which genetic variation is acquired by species. Changes in the number of chromosomes and the chromosome structure also causes evolution On comparing closely related species such as humans, gorilla, chimpanzee, and orangutan changes in chromosome structure and/or number are commonly found.
