The presence of the 60 percent of similar genes in the fruit flies and humans, and 97.5 % similar genes in humans and mice suggests that the common ancestory of the humans and mice is much more recent than the common ancestory of humans and fruit flies. The majority of the similar genes in the mice and humans is the indication that they have evolved from a common ancestor not very long ago. However, only 60% similarity between fruit flies and humans indicates that it had been some time since they both have had a common ancestor.

Hence, the correct answer is 'Option D'.

Which was not used in support of the continental drift hypothesis? fossil evidence coastline fit of South America and Africa anc
aniked [119]

Answer:

composition of meteorites

Explanation:

The continental drift theory has been based upon several evidence. The shape and perfect fit of South America and Africa is one of those evidence. The fossil records are another very strong evidence, as there are fossils of the same species on different continents that are not connected to each other in the present, and in nature is practically impossible to have the same species in different continents. The evidence about the climate also suggests that the continents have been moving, as there are remains of glaciers at places that nowadays are deserts and savannas. The meteorites are not one of the evidence though, and their composition doesn't have anything to offer in this tehory, as their composition is not related to the Earth and the processes on it.
