A. At some point in evolution, human and chimp ancestors reproduced with each other.

B. In the evolution of chimps, new adaptations resulted from additional chromosomal material.

C. The common ancestor of humans and chimps had 24 pairs of chromosomes. During human evolution, two human chromosomes fused end to end.
