no, they have double-stranded DNA just like humans.

How many percent parts humans from the chimpanzees?

Our DNA is about 98-99% similar to Chimps


How does DNA evidence support the claim that chimps are the most closely related to humans?

You can see that chimps are related to humans from DNA. We share about 98% of the nucleotides with chimps. The ERV's between chimps and humans are reverse transcripted into both creatures in the same spots and that is not plausible by anything but a relationship with them. The Chromosomes are identical except for chromosome #2 in humans and that shows a fusion of two chromosomes from our ancestors. Chimps along with all of our primate cousins are going extinct. Like in comparative morphology, comparative genomics shows that in the nested hierarchies, chimps have the most homologies and the fewest differences in a nucleotide by nucleotide comparison of the genome.


What is the closest species to humans?

Depending on who is telling the story, chimps have close to 100% similarity in their DNA to our DNA (human beings). Some scientists believe it's 97% similar while others believe it is 99% similar. Because chimps have very similar DNA (the most similar of all the animals), they are the closest mammals to the human beings.


Why or how are our family members all have DNA that is nearly identical than ours?

Most of DNA is common to all humans. Even 99% is the same as chimps have. The rest is what makes us, us. However there is enough different that we can identify one person from another by their DNA.


How does the DNA of a chimp compare to the DNA of a human?

Chimps have one less chromosome than humans. that is why if we try to interbreed we could never create offspring...well only in rare cases... but our offspring would have down syndrome... or something of that extent.

Some organisms use singlestranded rather than doublestranded DNA In these organisms which enzyme would probably not be needed for DNA replication?

Some viruses have single stranded DNA molecules. These viruses do not have the machinery to synthesise the DNA on their own. They insert their DNA in a living cell where the DNA synthesis takes place.

Why are chimps intelligence?

Chimps are intelligence yeah I know but they are actually almost the same with us humans. Our DNA and there's are like ours that's all I know because of Internet problems that told me to give a message to highly trained chimps.....weird.

Should Chimpanzees have Human Rights as they have 95 percent of Human DNA?

No. Although chimps are closely related they are not human.


Is bigfoot an animal or a person?

If the DNA of collected specimines can be trusted, which it can, then genetically speaking Bigfoot has DNA that fits in between humans and chimps. So he's not quite human but not quite great ape either. I like to think of Bigfoot as the 'missing link'. The findings are profound being that chimps are our closest relatives.


What is a group of chimps called?

Chimps are called chimps, and they are always an animal.


How much are chimpanzees like humans?

After observing chimps, Goodall began to recognize common behaviors that signaled specific events, leading her to understant that chimps use a language of their own to communicate.
