Implications of natural selection in shaping 99.4% nonsynonymous DNA identity between humans and chimpanzees: enlarging genus Homo. we compare approximately 90 kb of coding DNA nucleotide sequence from 97 human genes to their sequenced chimpanzee counterparts and to available sequenced gorilla, orangutan, and Old World monkey counterparts, and, on a more limited basis, to mouse. The nonsynonymous changes (functionally important), like synonymous changes (functionally much less important), show chimpanzees and humans to be most closely related, sharing 99.4% identity at nonsynonymous sites and 98.4% at synonymous sites. On a time scale, the coding DNA divergencies separate the human-chimpanzee clade from the gorilla clade at between 6 and 7 million years ago and place the most recent common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees at between 5 and 6 million years ago. The evolutionary rate of coding DNA in the catarrhine clade (Old World monkey and ape, including human) is much slower than in the lineage to mouse. Among the genes examined, 30 show evidence of positive selection during descent of catarrhines. Nonsynonymous substitutions by themselves, in this subset of positively selected genes, group humans and chimpanzees closest to each other and have chimpanzees diverge about as much from the common human-chimpanzee ancestor as humans do. This functional DNA evidence supports two previously offered taxonomic proposals: family Hominidae should include all extant apes; and genus Homo should include three extant species and two subgenera, Homo (Homo) sapiens (humankind), Homo (Pan) troglodytes (common chimpanzee), and Homo (Pan) paniscus (bonobo chimpanzee).

There are marked differences in the type of organisms found at four different locations at the same tidal height along ta rocky
yawa3891 [41]

Answer and Explanation:

Many elements can be responsible for this, among them, we can mention the presence and absence of predators in the different places on the rocky coast. This is because predators can influence not only the number of organisms found, but also the types of organisms.

Another element that may be the cause of this variability is the availability of resources necessary for the life of these organisms, in addition, the impact of the waves on the rocks, can cause the variability of the organisms, since some may not be able to resist the impact of the waves.

Are there any similarities between this Galapagos research and Darwin’s research? Explain your answer.
Usimov [2.4K]

Answer: This modern-day researcher used some of the same theories that Darwin proposed. Like Darwin and his finches and tortoises, this scientist understood that the Galapagos cormorants inherited flightless wings. Darwin eventually discovered that his Galapagos finches likely evolved from other species of finches on the mainland. This evolution was similar to how the flightless Galapagos cormorants evolved from other species of cormorants.
