Question
Chapter 13, Problem 10WIO
Summary Introduction
To determine:
Whether the chimps are humans or that humans with different alleles are different species and to discuss the explanation that fits into this matter.
Concept Introduction:
The primates have one common ancestor and all the different types of primate have evolved from the same descent line. The animals, such as closely related extinct species of humans, Asian and African apes, humans, and chimpanzees are included in the hominoids.

The text explains that selective breeding involves breeding animals or plants for specific desirable traits. For example, humans bred different types of dogs to accomplish certain jobs. Farmers breed chickens for having meat and laying a greater amount of eggs. Cattle are often selectively bred either for more meat or for more milk production. The text also notes that breeding animals for size and strength interferes with natural animal processes. Based on this information presented in the text, who benefits from the traits different animals are bred for?
a) humans breeding the animals
b) the animals being bred by the humans
c) both the humans breeding the animals and the animals being bred by the humans
d) animals not being bred by humans
MAKE A simple sketch and label characteristics
Choose a human-related organism to study. As you consider strategies to enhance the social value of this organism, think of other desirable attributes that may be added to it. Imagination is a powerful tool, so let it go wild and imagine that you can transfer genes across other animals.
For example: A gene from a firefly has been transferred into tobacco plants so that they may glow in the dark, as demonstrated by geneticists. Tobacco pests are less likely to attack at night because of this.
Only when extensive genetic data became available were scientists able to definitively resolve the relationship between humans, chimpanzees and gorillas. Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve.
Important point.
Explain why the relationship between these three species was a particularly difficult challenge to solve?? I don't really see that in your answer.

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?

- There are three types of polar bears - ones with thick coats, ones with thin coats, and ones with medium coats. It is fall and soon it will be winter. the temperatures are dropping rapidly and the bears must be kept warm or they will freeze to death. the bears have had an average of 2 cubs each, but due to the extreme temperatures, many mother bears have only one cub left.

- Once nuclear DNA sequencing became fast and able to handle sequencing ancient DNA, living humans were found to have some Neanderthal genes. Is this finding clear evidence that some early modern humans did indeed hybridize with Neanderthals? Why?arrow_forwardSome people think that many of our uniquely human traits arose by sexual selection. Over thousands of years, women attracted to charming, witty men perhaps prompted the development of human intellect beyond what was necessary for mere survival. Men attracted to women with juvenile features may have shifted the species as a whole to be less hairy and softer featured than any of our simian relatives. Can you think of a way to test these hypotheses?arrow_forwardwhat misconceptions did carolus linnaeus have about human variation?arrow_forward
