1) What is the point of sequencing Neanderthal DNA?
To look at haplotypes, and how they compare to those in Modern Humans.
The point is only to learn more about all extinct species.
To find identifying genetic markers in populations.
To lay the Neanderthal and Human sequences side by side, base pair by base pair, and identify exactly where they diverge.
2)What is one of the main complications of sequencing the Neanderthal Genome?
There are no ccomplications with sequencing the Neanderthal genome.
Neanderthals lived to long ago to even think about havung any preserved genetic material.
Over time, DNA mutates. If too much time has passed, the DNA will not be the same as the original individual's.
Over time, DNA degrades and breaks down leaving only fragmented pieces of DNA.
3)In the last several thousand years, the majority of human evolution has NOT been
Physical
Cultural
The majority of evolution has not been happening in the last several thousand years.
Biological
4) Which of the following best describes the relationship between humans and other animals?
According to the evidence, humans share a common ancestor with primates and carnivores, but not with birds and reptiles.
Humans have existed longer than other animals. This explains our superiority and relative complexity.
We do not have enough evidence to create testable hypotheses about the relationship between humans and other animals.
Humans are primates, and share common ancestors with all other animals, including dinosaurs.
