Textbook Question
Chapter 30, Problem 4TS
Chimpanzees and humans obviously look and act very differently, but their genomes are remarkably similar. What types of mechanisms could explain how small differences in genotype can result in such large differences in

Students have asked these similar questions
Some genes are more alike between human and chimp than other genes are from person to person. Does this mean that chimps are humans or that humans with different alleles are different species? What other explanation fits the facts?
Is the inability to make vitamin C likely a homologous or analogous trait for humans and orangutans (both of which are simian primates)?
A number of behaviors that exhibit cultural evolution, such as tool-using, also have genes that favor such learning.
Could different populations of chimpanzees have different genetic predispositions to show cultural evolution?

- As you know chimpanzees in neighboring groups in the forest show 4-5 times as much genetic difference as any two human populations. Is it reasonable to expect that trait that show genetic variation in humans, such as the structure of the hand and the brain, might show significant variation between chimpanzee populations? Why or why not?arrow_forwardCompare and contrast Old and New World monkeys, what do they have in common? How do they vary? How does your text specify New World monkeys migrated from Africa?arrow_forwardWhat are the evidences that humans did not evolve from monkeys? Why do other people say that we evolve from monkeys?arrow_forward
- "Neanderthals have revealed interesting elements of the human genome". What are those elements ?arrow_forwardIn evolution, is it possible that there was an intermediate species between chimps and humans? Explain.arrow_forwardBased on their anatomical and behavioral differences, biologists previously placed humans and chimpanzees in different families, but now DNA sequence data suggest that they are closely related and should be placed in the same family. What are some advantages of using DNA sequences to decide how to classify organisms? What might be some disadvantages?arrow_forward
- How could natural selection have led to the evolution of adaptationssuch as camouflaging coat color in beach mice?arrow_forwardIf humans evolved from apes, why are there still apes?arrow_forwardBipedalism has many selective advantages. However, there is one disadvantage to walking on two feet: giving birth to an offspring with a large head through a small pelvic opening, which is necessitated by an upright posture, is very difficult. This situation results in a high percentage of deaths (for mother and child) during birth compared to primates. How do you explain the selection of a trait that is both positive and negative?arrow_forward
