Question

The branching "tree of life" analogy:

Answer 1

Answer:

Option-(A):

"Fails to account for horizontal gene transfer, in which species on different branches exchange genes."

Explanation:

• "Tree of life":

The tree of life was presented an explained by the very popular "Charles Darwin" for determining or defining the common ancestry among the different species or organisms. As, the trunk of tree is attributed to the common ancestry or origin and the branches of the tree are supposed the different species or organisms. As these organisms diverged from a single ancestor or origin. Now, the process of horizontal genes transfer between the different organism was not explained properly by the "tree of life" analogy.
