Answer:

The species that will be most similar to humans will be

1. rhesus

2. pigeon

3. fruit fly

Explanation:

Evolution can be described as the process in which different organism evolve from common ancestors over a long period of time. Evolutionary studies show that some organisms have more shared characteristics as compared with other organisms. These organisms with common characteristics are believed to be closer to one another and evolved from the same ancestors.

In the above question, as there is only one difference between the cytochrome c of humans and rhesus, hence rhesus is the closest to humans. Pigeons has lesser number of differences than fruit fly, hence it is second on the list. Fruit fly has the maximum differences hence it is placed last.

vodka [1.7K]
The correct answer is color vision.
The macula lutea is an area near the center of the human's eye retina. It has an oval shape and is responsible for the high-resolution color vision we have under good light conditions. If the macula lutea is destroyed, due to macular degeneration or a retinal detachment, then this color vision is impaired.
