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.

How can islands be created by plate tectonics
Tema [17]
One example is the country of Iceland which is a large island right on the mid-Atlantic ridge which is where the Atlantic oceanic plate is rifted in two and where the underlying magma wells up to the surface as the two sides to the plate move opposite to each other. The resulting volcanic rock then builds itself up into an island.

Leni [432]

Answer:

There are many reasons why manned space probes to Saturn are simply  unachievable. Getting to space is incredibly hard. The force of gravity is very hard to escape. If you wanted to, you would have to invest trillions upon trillions of dollars to create a space shuttle that may or may not explode. Second, we simply don’t have the technology to make it that far with a manned probe. Saturn is more than a billion miles away. It would take more than several years to go that far. To keep astronauts alive, entertained, and sustained is also a big challenge. In conclusion these are some reasons why a manned space probe to Saturn is unachieveable.

Explanation:

U’d better give me that brainly.
