Species X and Y are not related to species Z.
A) Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.
B) Species X and Y share a common ancestor that is still extant (in other words, not yet extinct).
C) Species X and Y are the result of artificial selection from an ancestral species Z.

Answer:

A. Species X and Y share a greater number of homologies with each other than either does with species Z.

Explanation:

In taxonomy,  living organisms are placed into groups according to their similarities.

Genus is a classification group above of species. It consists of species that are closely related.

For the species X and Y to be placed in the same genus, they must be sharing a greater number of similarities or homologies compared to species Z.

Species Z does not have greater similarity with either Species X or species Y

polet [3.4K]

Answer:

Translation

Explanation:

The translation is the process during which the nucleotide sequence of the mRNA is read in the form of genetic codes. The nucleotide sequence of mRNA is complementary to the template DNA strand. According to the sequence of the nucleotides in the mRNA, the amino acids are added in a specific order to make the polypeptide chains. The process occurs on ribosomes. The ribosomes move along the mRNA to read its sequence and the tRNA brings are amino acids to be added to the polypeptide chains.
