whats the difference between human blood and chimpanzee blood?

Answer 1

chimpanzee blood group systems are VABD and RCEF systems which have been proved to be counterparts of the human MNS and Rh-Hr blood group systems

Answer 2

Most of the times when human blood is flown it gets noticed and chimpanzee's doesnt

Answer 3

All of the basic physical characteristics are going to be pretty much the same, I would guess. I don't know whether humans and chimps share all of the same blood type kinds of proteins or not, but I would guess there are differences in some blood types. Additionally, all of the white cells will be very slightly different, simply because some are chimp cells and some are human cells.

Answer 4

If you are looking at it on a DNA level, there is very little difference. Gorillas have DNA that is 92-93% identical to our own. Chimpanzees, being the most closely related animal to us, is even more so identical. So, their blood probably is not much different to our own.

Answer 5

Babes Human Blood cells...RBCs are Biconcave...n the chimpanzee RBCs are Sickle shaped....hence resistant to malaria....

Answer 6

Human blood smells hatred, violence...but not chimp's blood

Answer 7

Sorry pal i dont know. I try to find about that. but ouldent found. This is the one i foud see it

"The recently published Chimp Genome Sequencing project highlights the similarities between humans and our closest genetic cousins, the great apes. But a researcher at UCSD suggests it is in the differences, rather than the similarities, that clues to understanding human disease might be found.

Two upcoming papers co-authored by Ajit Varki, M.D., Professor of Medicine at UCSD, describe genetic differences between the species: one, the discovery of the first human-specific protein that is also expressed in brain cells associated with human brain diseases; the second, a single oxygen atom difference that makes humans and chimpanzees resistant to each other’s malarial parasites.

This research provides examples of how studying the evolution of humans and apes from a common ancestor may yield clues to explaining human and chimpanzee diseases. “Chimpanzees have long been thought of as a model for studying human diseases” said Varki. “In fact, what is most remarkable is that many of our diseases are rather different, either in incidence or in severity. Focusing on understanding these differences will eventually benefit both humans and chimpanzees”.

Varki and colleagues at UCSD’s Glycobiology Research and Training Center detail their finding of the first truly human-specific protein in the September 9 issue of Science.

Siglecs are molecules that serve as binding receptors for sialic acids, which are sugars found on the surface of all higher animal cells. Comparing human and chimpanzee genome sequences, the researchers noted that a human gene they had recently discovered called Siglec-11, was actually human-specific. The gene was generated by a mechanism called “gene conversion” that occurred in the human lineage sometime after our common ancestor with chimpanzees.

Nissi Varki, a professor of pathology at UCSD, found that while the protein encoded by the gene was expressed in human brain cells called microglia, it was not expressed in the brains of chimpanzees and other apes. “What’s interesting is that microglia are also involved in Alzheimer’s disease, multiple sclerosis and HIV-induced dementia, conditions that have so far not been reported in chimpanzees” said Varki, adding “This study raises more interesting questions than answers.”

By defining this human-specific genetic change, scientists may eventually better understand such neurological disorders, and possibly why humans’ brains are different from those of apes. The next step for the Varkis and their team is to explore the functional consequences and the mechanisms of brain expression. Causing Siglec-11 to be expressed in a mouse brains might help. “Meanwhile, another scientist might find a person with a neurological disease, and discover that patient has a genetic mutation of Siglec-11, helping us understand the functions of this gene in the normal human brain,” he said.

It has long been known that chimpanzees don’t get sick from the human malaria parasite Plasmodium falciparum, nor are humans infected with the malarial species that affects chimpanzees, called Plasmodium reichenowi. But until now, the reason for this surprising difference has been a mystery.

Just as humans and chimps have been shown to be very close genetic cousins, the two malaria parasites are genetically very similar. It is these two seemingly coincidental, but surprising, similarities that piqued the interest of Varki, and UCSD colleague Pascal Gagneux, Ph.D., a scientist in the Department of Cellular and Molecular Medicine who is also affiliated with the Zoological Society of San Diego,

A paper to be published in the September 6 issue of Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and currently on line, shows that this mystery can be explained by a genetic change that occurred in our ancestors about three million years ago. In earlier work, Varki, Gagneux and colleagues had found that humans were genetically unable to make one kind of common sialic acid called Neu5Gc, a molecule commonly found in apes and many other mammals (see earlier press release) They have now found that this difference of a single oxygen atom on sialic acids can shed light on the puzzling discrepancy in malaria susceptibility between the two species.

To find the difference between the two malarial parasites, the researchers focused on how each invaded their target red blood cells. Both Plasmodium species uses molecular “hooks” on their surfaces to latch onto the sialic acids on the red blood cell.

The researchers detected differences in the red cell binding capabilities between the two malaria species that could be explained by the differences in sialic acids. Thus, they argue that in the course of evolution, humans first became resistant to the malaria parasite infecting great apes by loss of the target molecule Neu5Gc. However, in the bargain they gained an excess of another sialic acid called Neu5Ac, eventually facilitating the evolution of P. falciparum, a parasite that now causes more than 1.5 million deaths a year in humans.

Answer 8

For 1 thing the protein markers wouldn't be the same.
- or + A,B,AB,O blood is determined from very unique protein markers.

Answer 9

one is human and one is chimpanzee

Answer 10

transfusion of blood is not posible ( i mean human blood requirememts can't be made out of chimps...and everything else is same....
