As Researchers Continue to Use DNA Technology to Study Genomes,one

question 31

Multiple Choice

As researchers continue to use DNA technology to study genomes,one area of focus that could support evolutionary relationships between humans and chimpanzees is

• B) in linking specific genotypes to the phenotypes that show obvious appearance differences between the two species.
• C) the study of whole chromosomes, and individual genes different among species, indicating potential sequences of evolutionary divergence.
• D) that comparison of the two species' genomes may lead to new promise for gene therapy for treatment of diseases.
