Since all organisms have the same DNA, just different amounts and sequences, the more similar the sequences, the more closely related the organisms.

∙ 12y agowell, they can compare because of evolution and who knows 1000 years ago it might of have been the same animal>=)

∙ 8y agoYes, but you would be surprised just how much DNA that we share with other species: chimpanzees 98%, mice 92%, Zebra fish 76%, fruit flies 51% , and bacteria (E coli) 18%.

A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
What is a group of closely related species?
family
Species that are in the same are more closely related than species that are only in the same?
Species that are in the same family are more closely related than species that are only in the same order. The biological classification of family falls between order and genus.
Members of a species are closely related and can mate to produce what offspring?
fertile
What role does molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other?
the role in which molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other is through the cladogram
Closely related species show more in nucleotide sequences than distantly related species?
similarity
DNA for certain proteins such as cytochrome is more similar in closely related species than it is in species that are less closely related why?
TRUE :)))
Which term refers to a similar structures that related species have inherited from a common ancestor?
DNA sequences
Which classification has the most similar species?
The classification with the most similar species is the genus, as it groups species that are closely related and share common characteristics..species within the same genus are more closely related to each other than species in different genera.
What is another similar species of the rattlesnake?
Copperheads and cottonmouths are closely related to the rattlesnakes.
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring?
A group of similar organisms that can produce fertile offspring are species.
What part of a scientific name is the same for similar species?
The genus name is the part of a scientific name that is the same for similar species. It represents a group of closely related species that share certain characteristics.
What taxon is made up of similar species?
A taxon made up of similar species is called a genus. Genera are groups of closely related species that share common characteristics and are grouped together based on evolutionary relationships. Members of the same genus are more closely related to each other than they are to species in other genera.
Why are physical similarities among species not always the result of being closely related?
because unrelated species can evolve similar traits through convergent evolution.
What is a genus?
A genus is a low-level taxonomical rank that groups together closely-related species. These closely-related species have a common ancestor.
What is the bobcat similar to?
The bobcat is a lynx and closely related to the other 3 species of lynx.
What species is a yak related to?
