Chapter 30, Problem 4TC

Chimpanzees and humans obviously look and act very differently, but their genomes are remarkably similar. What types of mechanisms could explain how small differences in genotype can result in such large differences in phenotype?

Blurred answer
Students have asked these similar questions
An adult human has a flat face with a small jaw and large cranium.  An adult chimpanzee has a large jaw and small cranium.  Both juvenile chimps and humans have heads similar to adult humans.  Which of the following is a reasonable explanation for this pattern? Group of answer choices   A) genes that modify skull shape are not expressed in chimps during development B) head shape is controlled by cytoplasmic determinants C)genes that modify skull shape are not expressed in humans during development D) chimps and humans have completely different genes controlling the formation of the head
Which of the following examples from class show that a mutation can have evolutionary benefits? Group of answer choices   C) Hox mutations that lead to legs developing on fruit flies where antennae should be   A and B   A, B, and C   B) Hox mutations leading to limbs with digits forming from lobe fins   A) Stickleback fish mutation
How similar are the genomes of humans and chimpanzees? What genetic changes might be responsible for the large differences in the anatomy, physiology, and behavior of humans and chimpanzees?
