DNA simply: the recipe in every cell, sentence 10

People share about 98 percent of their DNA with chimpanzees, our closest living relatives; we had a common ancestor about 6 to 7 million years ago, and small differences in the recipe make big differences in body and brain.

Who acts: People, we, small differences · What happens: share, live, have, make · To what, where: 98 percent, common ancestor, big differences, body

This is a sentence of the lesson «DNA simply: the recipe in every cell» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (People, we, small differences), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×3, R7-rel-agree ×1, R8-pos-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
