Botany - The Living World Question with Solution | TestHub

Carolus Linnaeus called humans as Homo sapiens or wise men and placed them along with apes and monkeys. There are certain similarities between human and chimpanzee. These are - (i) RNA content of diploid cells is similar (ii) DNA matching shows that human similarity is 100 $\%$ with chimpanzee and (iii) banding pattern of chromosomes shows very little difference in chromosomes 3 and 6 between humans and chimpanzee. Thus it can be concluded that among the primates, chimpanzee is the closest relative of the present day humans.
