Would a barnacle's DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet Explain?
Barnacles are crustaceans, and therefore more closely related to crabs than to mollusks like limpets. The apparent similar morphology of barnacles and limpets is a result of convergent evolution. It does not necessarily require DNA (i.e., similar genotype) in order to produce similar phenotype (physical characteristics).
Would a barnacles DNA be more similar to the DNA of a crab or that of a limpet?
Since crabs and barnacles belong to the same evolutionary lineage, one would expect their DNA to be more similar. However, convergent evolution could result in homoplasies that would cause a barnacle to have DNA more similar to that of a limpet than a crab.
