Question

1. which statement about the chimpanzee genome is true? 2 pts. a. it is identical to the human genome. b. it has not been mapped by researchers. c. it shares many genes with the human genome. d. it has few genes in common with the human genome. flag this question for later review

Explanation:

Chimpanzees are humans' closest living relatives; genetic research shows their genome shares approximately 98-99% of genes with the human genome. The chimpanzee genome has been fully mapped, so option B is false. The genomes are not identical (option A is false), and they share a vast majority of genes, not few (option D is false).

Answer:

C. It shares many genes with the human genome.
