A) the ancestral species of all great apes was genetically variable at some loci, and each descendant species lost different random combinations of ancestral alleles
B) the labs that sequenced great ape DNA made a simple procedural error
C) mitochondrial genes can become unlinked and be inherited by independent assortment
D) primate lineages are not completely reproductively isolated and can hybridize
E) coding regions of the primate genome are more likely to give false results than noncoding regions such as SINEs
