Answer:

Chimpanzees.

Explanation:

DNA sequence similarity is helpful to determine the evolutionary relationship between the organisms. The evolutionary tree can easily be constructed if the percentage of the DNA sequence similarity is known.

The human shows 98.8% sequence similarity with chimpanzee. The sequence similarity between human and gorilla DNA is 98.4%. This means Chimpanzee are more closely related to humans than gorillas.

Thus, the answer is chimpanzee.

Functions of the circulatory, respiratory, digestive, and endocrine systems?
gavmur [86]

The Circulatory System is about the Blood and the heart: they deliver oxygen to the rest of the body (except lungs). AFTER they deliver the oxygen they get the waste (Carbon Dioxide) and deliver it to the LUNGs (Respiratory System)

The Respiratory system is about the Lungs, Bronchi, Alveoli, Trachea, etc. They EXCHANGE the carbon dioxide from the blood with oxygen, they do this in the ALVEOLI (a small, grape-like sockets in the lungs).

The Digestive System consist the Esophagus, Stomach, Intestines, Gallbladder, and Anus. They Digest the food, they ABSORB the nutrients from the food we eat and we poop out the UNNECESSARY wastes.
