About 96% of the information in human dna is found in gorilla dna. this evidence supports which statement? a) humans evolved from gorillas. eliminate b) gorillas and humans diverged from a common ancestor. c) as gorillas evolve, they will become more similar to humans. d) gorillas and humans are too different for meaningful genetic comparisons

The correct answer is -

B) Gorillas and humans diverged from a common ancestor.

Explanation:

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the genetic material of living organisms that contains genetic information in the form of nucleotide sequences.

This information is transferred from parents to the next generation.

On the basis of nucleotide sequences in the DNA, the genetic relatedness between two organisms can be evaluated. This means the more is the similarity in the DNA sequence, organisms are more likely to be closely related.

As per the given information in the question, 96% of the information in human DNA is found in DNA of Gorilla.

Thus, it indicates that both these organisms shared common ancestor in their past that is they have evolved or diverged from common ancestor.

Therefore, option B) is the right answer.
