Explanation

Chimpanzee is more closely related to man than other hominoids. It is evidenced by chromosome banding pattern, DNA extracted from sex chromosomes, autosomes and mitochondria. Molecular clock based on mitochondrial DNA are used to date recent events because this DNA mutates 5-10 times faster than nuclear DNA. Some similarities between human and chimpanzee are: 1.DNA matching shows human similarity with chimpanzee. 2.There is little differences in banding pattern in chromosomes 3 and 6 in human and chimpanzee. 3.Serum test indicates maximum homology between human and chimpanzee.
