. Which organisms are closely related? Explain.
Answer (1)
Organisms are closely related when they share a recent common ancestor and have many similarities in their traits, such as DNA sequences, body structures, and reproductive methods.For example, in a classification chart or phylogenetic tree, two species that are positioned close together (or branch off from the same point) are considered more closely related than those farther apart. This is because they have fewer evolutionary differences and share more inherited characteristics.
