Question

Similarity in __________ is good evidence for evolutionary relationships among animals.
A)a sequence of DNA
B)habitats
C)body coloration
D)behavioral patterns
E)feeding habits

Accepted Answer

A sequence of DNA contains information about an organism's genetic makeup, which can be compared and analyzed between different organisms to determine their evolutionary relationships. This is a more direct and accurate way to assess relationships than comparing external characteristics such as habitats, body coloration, or feeding habits, which can sometimes be influenced by environmental factors rather than genetic relatedness. Behavioral patterns can also provide information about relatedness, but may be more complex and difficult to analyze compared to DNA sequences.
