Question

When classifying organisms, all of these qualities are important, but which one can most accurately tell us how closely related two species are? (1 point) geographical range geographical range DNA analysis DNA analysis physical appearance physical appearance internal organs internal organs

Answer 1

Answer: DNA analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

DNA analysis is the most accurate way to determine the relationships between species. If using the physical appearance of animals, one might conclude that a snake and a crocodile are more closely related than a crocodile and a bird. This, however, is false; crocodiles are more closely related to birds than snakes. DNA analysis also rules out unrelated convergent evolution of similar structures, both internal and external.
