==DNA== | ==DNA== | ||
Deoxyribonucleic acid is a chain-like molecule that can be found in every living cell on earth. There are sections within the DNA that are what determine the passing of characteristic throughout a families life. DNA is found in the [[cell nucleus|nucleus]] of most cells. They are found in threadlike structures, which are called chromosomes. DNA directs many things within the cell like the formation, growth, and the reproduction of a cell. Through the process of cell division the chromosome will give an equal amount of chromosomes to each of the new cell so that the DNA will have remnants from the original cell. this is how the DNA and the characteristics from the parent organisms get passed on.

==Chromosome Fusion== | |||
Evolutionists through the mapping of the genome have determined that a type of chromosome fusion from ape-like ancestors into humans happened roughly 2 million years ago. This is determined to be irrefutable proof to some as clear-cut evidence of common ancestry evolution.<ref>[http://www.ias.ac.in/jgenet/Vol77No1/41.pdf Origin of Human Chromosome 2 Revisited]</ref> The common Darwinian arguments align with those used for [[pseudogenes]] and their emergence within similar loci of apes and humans. | |||
