Does an ape have bilateral symmetry or radial symmetry?
Apes have bilateral symmetry. This means they have symmetry across one plane (known as the sagittal plane, and directly down the centre of their body), which means one side of their body approximately mirrors the other side.
Are ape and human DNA the same?
Human and ape DNA are remarkably similar. In fact chimpanzees are so closely related to us (around 98-99 percent DNA relatedness) that many scientists are suggesting that the genus Panshould be scrapped and moved to the Homo genus.
How can you graft human and avian DNA?
No, the genetic make up of each species DNA are completely different so that it is not compatible for combination. Not to mention the obvious ethical and moral parameters that would be violated.
AnswerI would have to say yes only because of the fact that our DNA is made up of our Genes and those only have so many vereations and there pourpos is determoned more by there place than there structre though i am not a genetisis AnswerI would have to agree with the person above me. I do think that it is possible to combine human DNA with avian DNA. Recently, this week, scientists in Taiwan combined the DNA from a Jellyfish with pig emryos. The baby pigs that were born growed completely green as Jellyfish do. So, why couldn't it be possible to combine human DNA and avian DNA? Nothing... it is completely possible, although, the risk may be high and the testing may be illegal. It is still theoretically possible. AnswerAt present, there are sheep with genetic markers to allow them to produce the protein for Black Widows' Silk. It works. Sheep DNA and spider DNA were combined. The problem is, it took many attempts to finally get the DNA combination right, in order to not produce massively deformed sheep. I'm sure many sheep were born with horrific mutations, or were still-born, or didn't live long after birth before they got everything right. To do experiments like that on humans would violate our twisted morality which states that we can mutilate "lower" animals, but not each other. So I don't see it happening anytime soon. And certainly not legally.i think its possible seeing how in Britain they were mixing a cows embryo with a human DNA its possibel if the brake through is a succes than we will probably be able to do it with other animals
I guess that humans would have the ability to put those genes together and the humans would survive, but it's still sort of immoral. Still, I wouldn't mind being part avian. Anyone know where I could give up my body for it?
Answer
i am currently doing research in the field of DNA recombination and can say with absolute certainty that it is possible. just to clear up a few things, unlike what others have said, our DNA is incredibly similar to other species. our DNA makes up genes, not the other way aroung (nucleotide base pairs make up our DNA). a lot of people don't realize it but DNA recombination is prevelent today, all of the insulin a diabetic takes is created by bacteria that have the DNA that creates insulin from a human. it fits perfectly. i take it you got this idea from the series Maximum Ride (I'm a fan), and the science in the book is completely real.
How similar is DNA of humans and neanderthals?
According to modern science, very similar as it has been found that the modern human that has lived among neanderthal man ie above Africa has traces of neanderthal DNA. While Africans below that area are pure humans.
What percentage of the letters in human DNA is identical?
Approximately 99.9% of the letters in human DNA are identical among individuals. The small differences in DNA sequences account for the variability seen in humans, such as differences in traits, health conditions, and susceptibility to diseases.
Does Jane Goodall still have her stuffed chimpanzee?
Yes she sometimes brings it when she is speaking to an audience
What is the name for the process that causes a species to evolve?
Evolution is enabled by natural selection: the ability of a species through its individuals to make long-term improved changes in its response to its environment through beneficial mutations, resulting in the species being able to reproduce itself more successfully than before.
Why do humans have fewer chromosomes than chimps?
Chimpanzees have 48 (24 pairs) chromosomes while man has 46 (23 pairs). This is due to the fact that one pair of chromosomes fused during the course of human evolution. Chromosomes have end cap markers called "Telomeres" to protect them from damage. They also have a marker called "Centromeres" that shows where splitting (mitosis) happened in the center of the chromosome. Scientists found in 2004 that the center of human chromosome #2 had two connected Telomeres, meaning that the ends of two chromosomes had fused. For more, see:
Hillier et al (2004) "Generation and Annotation of the DNA Sequences of Human Chromosome 2 and 4," Nature 434: 724-731
Who discovered that chimps have the same DNA to humans?
We share many things with chimpanzees. Jane Goodall has shown us this through her research at the Gombe National Reserve in Tanzania. We share 98% of our DNA with chimpanzees. They often use facial expressions that look uncannily human, although we will never know if they truly possess any emotions that correspond with the expression. Chimps often greet one another with a kiss, hug, or gentle hand touch. Babies stay with their mothers until they reach adulthood. Chimps are omnivorous. They can make and use tools. All of these behaviors were researched and observed by Dr. Jane Goodall for the last 38 years.
Do Human DNA is 99.9 percent the same as shark rabbit or a chimp?
In short, NO.
Although it has commonly been stated in the past that humans and chimpanzees have 98.5% DNA similarity, this figure has recently been found to be incorrect. Newer research has suggested that there is approximately 96% genetic similarity between Humans and chimpanzees overall.
Of course the fine details depend on what specific chromosomes one is looking at. Although 96% of the DNA is similar overall, there are some very significant differences in some chromosomes, where other chromosomes are nearly identical. Specifically, 18 of the chromosomes of humans are nearly identical to those of chimpanzees, the rest are very different (eg: chromosomes 4, 9, 12, 21, and y).
Some specific examples of differences include:
1) Humans have 23 pairs of chromosomes in total while chimpanzees have 24.
2) Chimpanzees and other apes have telomeres about 23 kilobases long, whereas humans are completely unique among primates with much shorter telomeres only 10 kilobases long.
3) The Y chromosome in chimpanzees is smaller than that of humans and only 60% of the genes are similar to those of the y chromosome of humans.

Divergent evolution is when a common ancestor gives rise to different species adapted to different environments or ecological niches. This process results in the evolution of distinct traits in each species to better suit their specific habitats and lifestyles.
Why would humans cravings for fatty foods have evolved through natural selection?
We no longer have to obtain our own food, fatty foods are readily available, this being said, we evolve to adapt to our environment, so we wouldn't crave low-fat foods because they are not abundant in our environment.
How much DNA do humans share with a slug?
Humans and slugs have a very low level of genetic similarity due to a common evolutionary ancestor millions of years ago. The DNA shared between humans and slugs is estimated to be around 70% identical.
What animals have evolved through natural selection?
Many different species have evolved through natural selection, including finches, peppered moths, giraffes, and bacteria. Natural selection is a key mechanism in evolution that favors traits that improve an organism's chances of survival and reproduction in its environment.
Three major trends of evolution in vertebrate brain?
1. The size of the brain relative to the whole body increases in certain evolutionary lines.
2. Increased specialization of function.
3. The increasing sophistication and complexity of the forebrain.
Male gorillas are called bulls or silverbacks, other ape species males are simply called males, or if he is a group leader, boss.
Are there any species of carnivorous monkeys or apes?
No. Like humans, all monkeys and apes are herbivores. The relatively newly discovered fact that some apes have begun killing and eating others apes does not make them carnivores.
If by carnivorous, meaning "only meat eating", then no. Most apes, while primarily feeding on vegetation, can also eat bugs and meat, i.e. omnivores by taxonomy. The greater question is are any apes (including homo sapiens) purely vegetarian? Gorillas are only known to eat vegetation, orangutans add insects to that diet, and chimps even kill and eat smaller mammals. While apes could survive on a purely vegetarian diet, their anatomies could not sustain a purely carnal diet.
The only exception:
There is one species of purely carnivorous primate. It's called a Tarsier.
They're categorized as a Haplorhine (new and old world monkeys, apes, and humans) though were previously categorized as Strepsirhines, (which are lemurs and lorises).
They are nocturnal by nature, and only live in the Philippines, Malaysia, and Indonesia. By what you consider to be carniverous, they might not be, but by actual definition, because they only eat insects, frogs, and reptiles.
Are Apes herbivore omnivore or carnivore?
Apes are typically considered omnivores, as they eat a variety of foods including fruits, leaves, insects, and occasionally small animals. Their diet can vary depending on the species and their habitat.
What is the largest asteroid ever found?
The largest asteroid is CERES, in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter.
It is 580 miles (930 km) in diameter , about the size of Texas.
It accounts for about 32% of the total mass of the belt.
A missing link is something necessary to complete a series, like an animal fossil that has not yet been found to prove that apes evolved into humans. A missing link is an argument against evolution, claiming that it cannot be true just because we are lacking some fossils to prove i. However it could be argued that since we haven't even found all of the animals alive yet, there is no way we could know everything that has ever lived.
Half of all missing link fossils have been found in whole or part. Tiktaalik is a very important one connecting fish to tetra-pods.
What is a chimpanzee's locomotion?
Ich verstehe nicht, was du sprichst, aber ich weiß, dass Gorillas und Fortbewegung etwas mit Wissenschaft zu tun hat. so die Fortbewegung der Gorillas sind die knucle-Spaziergang mit ihren langen Beinen und Armen.
in other words
i do not understand what you are talking about but i do know that gorillas and locomotion has something to do with science. so the locomotion of gorillas are the knucle-walk using their legs and long arms.
What is the chief goal of human relations?
The chief goal of human relations is to foster positive interactions and relationships among individuals in a work or social setting. It aims to enhance communication, understanding, and cooperation to create a conducive and harmonious environment.
What is the scientific name for the species ape?
The scientific name for the species ape is "Hominidae."
Apes are primarily found in Africa and Southeast Asia, inhabiting a variety of environments including rainforests, savannas, and mountainous regions. They are adapted to live in diverse habitats ranging from tropical forests to semi-arid areas. Apes are arboreal and spend much of their time in trees, but some species also venture onto the ground.
