The reason for the change in the hands of the chimpanzee include:
- Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees( Represents a reason for the change)
- Mutations in chimpanzee DNA ( Represents a reason for the change)
- Differences in the ways chimpanzees use their hands ( Doesn't represents a reason for the change)
- Sexual reproduction ( Doesn't represents a reason for the change)
- Differences in enhancer sequences( Represents a reason for the change).
<h3>What is mutation?</h3>
Mutation is defined as the alteration in the genetic makeup of a living organism which may occur due to the following:
- When there is spontaneous break down of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA).
- Change in a single nucleotide of the DNA.
- when there is additions or deletions of nucleotide in a DNA strand.
A change can be noticed in an animal such as Chimpanzee when the following occurs:
Mutations in chimpanzee DNA: This can alter both that anatomy and the physiological features of the organism involved.
Crossbreeding between gorillas and chimpanzees: When there is cross breeding between a chimpanzee and a gorilla, it will lead to a genetic diversity which can be observed as a change in the hands of the chimpanzee.
