Yes it is because similarity of the genome our DNA is one of your sides main argument.
That and our morhoplogical similarities.
The chromosome 2 proves nothing but by your reasoning you think it does that is just conjecture.
What??
I dont think you understand how human reproduction works..
you know meiosis in the testes...the sperm fertilizes the egg...mitosis ensues...do you know these?
The only question i have for you, is "Is your second chromosome the result of two chromosomes fused together?"
If it is, then your great-great-great-great-great-great-great....grandparents had 48 chromosomes.
No.
So just if im understanding you correctly, you reject the notion that chromosome two is the fusion of two chromosomes?
So ive presented the evidence of why its fused. it retains the vestigial centromere and carries a long sequence of telemere caps at its center as well as its ends. When we observe chromosomes that have fused during reproduction, this is exactly what we see. In fact, its the only place we see it.
Can you refute that evidence or provide a reason why you think its not fused? Because a undergraduate biology student could notice on his own that its the fusion of chromosomes
