When/are chimpanzees orphaned?

Question

I'm studying for an anthropology test regarding evolution, genetics, animal behavior. Help on the above question would be appreciated.

Also, another question I can not grasp is "How do the basic principles of inheritance, identified by Mendel in plants, differ from those in humans?"

Any help would be appreciated! THANKS!!!

Answer 1

Now I don't actually know, but I'd assume a chimp could become an orphan after its mother is taken out by a poacher and if the mother and baby are no where near other chimps then I guess the baby would not get adopted by another family and if too young would probably die.

As for your second question I have no clue what you're talking about, sorry.
