<u>FORMATION OF DECUBITUS ULCER:</u>

Decubitus Ulcer, also termed as Bed sores often occur when the pressure of one’s body weight cuts off the blood supply to that organ where the pressure is applied leading to death of tissues.

It is most common among the patients who are bed ridden and among the people who sits or sleeps for a majority amount of time. When an individual is seated or is sleeping for a long time, the body exerts a pressure at the point of contact that is in between the body and the firm surface, like bed or a wheelchair. This would lead to cut off of blood supply to the point where the pressure is applied which would lead to damage of skin and tissues eventually leading to the death of tissues.

Which of the following makes the most sense when it comes to the evolution of primates?
Pavlova-9 [17]

The correct answer is Humans and chimpanzees have DNA that is very similar because they both evolved from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

Both humans and chimpanzees are primates; this means both species belong to the same biological order (rank in taxonomy). Moreover, humans and chimpanzees share most of their DNA (around 99%). This indicates the two species are related and they evolved from the same ancestor. This implies a primate that existed million years ago (common ancestor) was the origin of these two species and due to this common ancestor they share most of their DNA; however, as both species changed separately the remaining DNA is different and this makes both species look and be different. According to this, the correct statement about the evolution of primates is "Humans and chimpanzees have DNA that is very similar because they both evolved from a common ancestor."
