Bellabob Posted June 5, 2012 Report Share Posted June 5, 2012 The video above is what I'm having trouble with. Our chromosome number 2 resulted from the fusion of two primate chromosomes. How does this suggest common ancestry? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
