Answer:

Organisms C and D are more closely related than

Organisms A and B

Explanation:

Organisms A and B are not related much as the distance between them is more than the organisms C and D so the C and D are closer than A and B. The phylogenetic tree shows the biological evolutionary relationship among various biological species. So the given tree shows the relationship as mentioned above.

It also show the physical and genetic relationship among the various biological species. The phylogeny is generally shown by using a particular phylogenetic tree. For example, the simple one below which describes the different evolutionary relationships between the great apes. The genus Pongo includes orangutans, Pan includes chimpanzees and bonobos, and Homo includes humans, while Gorilla is self-evident.

While distinctly Anthropoids, some Platyrrhines maintain a few of traits that are typically represented only in Prosimians. For

Convergent evolution is the concept of two or more species evolving similar traits despite being completely unrelated to one another, including the absence of a common ancestor.

The Platyrrhines, more commonly known as "New World Monkeys", share many characteristics with the Prosimians. Some of these include:

Teeth layout
Diet
Eyesight
Sleeping habits

and more.

The Platyrrhines and the Prosimians are both nocturnal animals. Despite all other members of their family being active during the day, the Playrrhines have evolved nocturnal habits similar to that of the Prosimians. Aside from that, they feed on insects more so than fruit, which is reflected by the layout of their teeth, and have eyesight well adapted to dark conditions. All of these are traits they share with the Prosimians.

Despite being in different ecosystems and regions, and sharing no recent common ancestors, both of these species have evolved strikingly similar traits. This can be used to corroborate the theory of convergent evolution, which explains how two species can evolve very similar traits despite being unrelated.

Which nitrogenous base would pair with adenine during DNA replication?

Blababa [14]

...........The answer is C

Replication relies on complementary base pairing, that is the principle explained by Chargaff's rules: adenine (A) always bonds with thymine (T) and cytosine (C) always bonds with guanine (G).
