Suppose a mutation affects an enzyme that is required to repair the damage to DNA caused by the loss of purine bases. the loss of a purine occurs about 5000 times in the DNA of each of your cells per day. as the average difference in DNA sequence between humans and chimpanzees is about 1%, how long will it take you to turn into an ape? What is wrong with this argument?
