Humans and chimpanzees share about 98% of their DNA. What is DNA? What might be the role of regulatory genes in producing the anatomical differences between these two lineages? Give two examples of how the field of genetics has revolutionized biological science. What is polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and why is it important in genetics?
