Animal A and Animal B each have 95% of their DNAin common. Animal A and Animal C each have 50% of their DNA in common.

What does this suggest about the relationship of these animals?

A is probably much more closely related to B than to C.

C is probably much more closely related to B than to A.

B is probably much more closely related to C than to A.

A is probably much more closely related to C than to B.

i would say A is more closely related to B than to C.

if A and B share 95% of their DNA then thats more than 50%, which is what A and C share.
