Answer:

The correct answer would be common ancestry.

Common ancestry means that different species have been established from a single parent species or population.

Organisms which share more recent common ancestors tend to have more similarity as compared to the organisms which share an older ancestor.

Humans and chimpanzees also believed to evolved from a common ancestor around 6-7 million years ago.

It is the reason why humans and chimpanzees share around 96-99 percent of the DNA.

This similarity can be explained by Charles Darwin's Theory of Evolution. Humans and chimpanzees share a common ancestor wherein a number of million years ago, due to adaptation of their environment, human species branched out and eventually evolved into Homo sapiens.

You cut your hand while slicing a tomato one week later the cut is gone.. what happened?
ICE Princess25 [194]

Your body decided to heal that! but however depending on the depth and width of the cut the matter may heal more slowly! Ouch!! This is called cell reproduction. It happens when your body is hurt physically not emotionally! When this person was slicing the tomato if it was a deep long cut if they healed in a week then there may be a super human problem here! Notta bad thing but still kinda crazy! don't you think? So yessss I hope that this is helpful to you.

What do adoption studies compare?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:

Adoption studies compare the similarity between an adoptee and his or her biological versus adoptive relatives, or the similarity between biological relatives of affected adoptees with those of unaffected or control adoptees. The latter approach is more powerful because it eliminates the potentially confounding effect of environmental factors.
