Options
A.banding pattern in chromosomes number 2 and 6
B.cranial capacity
C.binocular vision
D.dental formula
Solution
A comparative study of the banding of chromosomes of man and the great apes has shown that the total amount of DNA in human diploid cells and that of apes is more or less similar. The banding pattern of human chromosome numbers 3 and 6 are compared with those of particular autosomes in the chimpanzee, which shows a common origin. More over, blood protein also proves that man is most closely related to great apes (chimpanzee and gorilla).
