Comparison of Human and Chimpanzee Karyotypes: similarities and differences #279055411
Description
The chromosome sets of humans and chimpanzees are similar overall, but there is one key difference. Humans have 46 chromosomes organized into 23 pairs, while chimpanzees have 48 chromosomes organized into 24 pairs. The main distinguishing factor is chromosome 2, which exists as two separate chromosomes (2A and 2B) in chimpanzees, but has fused into a single chromosome in humans.
