When human DNA molecules and chimpanzee DNA molecules are heated to separate the two sides of the molecules from each other and

then mixed together at cooler temperatures, strands of human DNA are able to form hydrogen bonds and base-pair with over 98% of the nucleotides in the chimpanzee DNA strands.Which of the following is the most logical conclusion to draw from this information?
A. Humans evolved from chimpanzees.
B. Ilumans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor.
C. Chimpanzees evolved from humans.
D. Convergent evolution has led to similar nucleotide sequences in the two genomes.

Answer:

B. Humans and chimpanzees share a relatively recent common ancestor.

Explanation:

Both the humans and Chimpanzees are the primates that are they belong to the same group called hominids and genus called Homo.

When the DNA sequences of the Chimpanzees and the Humans are sequenced and compared than they showed that 98% of the genome is similar.

In the given question, the single strands of the humans and the chimpanzees base-paired which showed that 98% of the nucleotide sequence is the same. The most possible reason for this similarity is that they both were evolved from the common ancestors and they diverged recently in the past.

Thus, Option-B is correct.

Maksim231197 [3]

The answer is; B


Mutation is one source of variation (in addition to sex and gene flow). Mutations are rare and occur in a small proportion of individuals. However, due to the advantage that the genetic mutation confers to these individuals, their chances of passing the genes to the next generation is higher than that of the general population.

This way, the allelic frequencies of these advantageous mutated genes increase with each generation and eventually become the majority population over time.

Which of the following characteristics of plants is absent in their closest relatives, the charophyte algae?
Phoenix [80]

Answer: d. alternation of multicellular generations

Explanation:

The gametophytic as well as the sporophytic generations are alternative in the life cycle of the multicellular plants. This can be seen among the land plants. This feature cannot be seen in the algal species as they are unicellular in nature. Thus cannot be seen in the relatives of charophyta algae.
