Question

State why gorillas and chimpanzees are separate species

Answer 1

Simply because their genetics are not the same. They have different features and characteristics. Remember species is the smallest group on the pyramid so they are in the same kingdom etc;

Answer 2

Gorilla and chimpanzee are two great apes that are endangered. Gorilla is less intelligent than chimpanzee. Further, they differ from the tribe and the genus they belong. Chimpanzee is closer to human than the gorilla does. Because they have larger brains than gorillas. And they share 98% DNA similarity with humans. Gorilla is a herbivorous ape while chimpanzee is an omnivorous ape. This is the difference between gorilla and chimpanzee.
