Question

The DNA sequence for the same gene found in several species of mammals                   .
a. is identical among all species;
b. is equally different between all pairs of mammal species;
c. is more similar between closely related species than between distantly related species;
d. provides evidence for the hypothesis of common descent;
e. more than one of the above is correct

Accepted Answer

Hi everyone here, we have a question that says the higher the similarity between two sequences, the blank, the probability that they originated independently from each other and the Blank the probability that they are closely related. So our two sequences are highly similar, which means that the lower probability that they originated independently, meaning that they probably have a common ancestor. And the higher the probability that they are closely related. So our answer here is be lower higher the higher the similarity between two sequences, the lower the probability that they originated independently from each other and the higher the probability that they are closely related. Thank you for watching. Bye.
