Similarity between humans and chimpanzees indicates what?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: An evolutionary relationship
The governing concept is comparative evidence for evolution. Humans and chimpanzees share many anatomical, physiological and genetic features, so their similarities indicate that they are related through evolution and likely share a relatively recent common ancestor. This does not mean they are the same individual or that one is a plant. Both organisms possess chromosomes, so options B, C and D are scientifically incorrect.
