Ead the statement.

For an organism, a section of the DNA code reads CAATCT. Over time, two species form from this population. Species 1 has a mutation in this region; it has CTATCT. Species 2 has another mutation; it has CAATAT.

Scientists discover a new organism, species 3. The new organism has the code CTATCG for the same section.

Which option is most likely true for species 3?
Select one:

Species 3 is not likely to be related to species 1, species 2, or their common ancestor.

Species 3 has most likely evolved from the same common ancestor as species 1 and species 2.

Species 3 has most likely evolved from species 1.

Species 3 has most likely evolved from species 2.

thanks for the help
