The genetic variation between humans and orangutans is the greatest is the right option.

Explanation:

A phylogenetic tree is illustration which shows evolutionary relationship between different species. This concept is based on Darwin's descent with modification.

Human and orangutan are 97% similar in their DNA sequences.

The difference in DNA bases shows large genetic variations in both the species.

The species are organized on the basis of traits that are changed over time as compared to their ancestors as they evolve.

Less related species will have more differences in their DNA sequence.

The phylogenetic tree formed indicates that orangutan and human are less related to each other than other species.

Volgvan

Answer:

The most commercially important genus of lactic acid-fermenting bacteria is Lactobacillus, though other bacteria and even yeast are sometimes used. Two of the most common applications of lactic acid fermentation are in the production of yogurt and sauerkraut.

Lactic acid fermentation happens in our muscle cells when we are exercising feverishly, while alcoholic fermentation is used in yeast cells and is what leads to beer, bread, and wine.

Variation in dna sequences are useful for building a tree of life because __________.
UNO [17]
DNA is the molecule that carries genetic information of a given organisms. Genetic variation is the changes that occur in the genome of an organisms to help an organism adapt well to the environment, however, they might also be disadvantageous. The variation in DNA sequences are useful in building a tree of life because DNA sequences are similar in closely related organisms and less similar in less closely related organisms.
