Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Humans and chimpanzees are known to share a common ancestor relatively recently, and their genomes show high levels of similarity. The b-globin gene is highly conserved across different species, and given the close evolutionary relationship between humans and chimpanzees, they are likely to have the most homologous b-globin genes.
