Question

A scientist is trying to determine how closely related a moth species is to four other moth species. He examined the DNA of each species and compared it to the study subject. He then created this table. Which species is most closely related to the original moth species?

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Species B

Explanation:

just took it ED2020

Answer 2

Are you referring to this Table?

                                             TABLE

 Species                                        # of genetic differences
Species A                                                  12
Species B                                                    3
Species C                                                  14
Species D                                                  28

The answer is Species B.
A scientist is trying to determine how closely related a moth species is to four other moth species. He examined the DNA of each species and compared it to the study subject. He then created this table. By interpreting the table, it is Species B that is most closely related to the original moth species because it has the lowest genetic differences.
