Have several similar characteristics or similar backgrounds. Like, the snake and the lizard are related because they are both reptiles, they are both cold blooded, they both have scales, etc. Or the bunny and the whale are both related because they are mammals, but not having to do anything with the outward appearance. So it really depends on what animals you are comparing!
Two individuals are members of the same species if they share some major genus. The other indication is if the male and female can mate and reproduce.
cannot mate and produce viable, fertile offspring
that they are related
They have a common evolutionary ancestor.
the role in which molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other is through the cladogram
The offspring are usually sterile.
Evolutionary relationships are traced in the classification of organisms. For classification of organisms, we look for similarities among organisms which allows us to group them. The more characteristics two species will have in common, the more closely they are related. It indicates that more closely two species are related, the more recently they would have had a common ancestor. Thus, classification of species is in fact a reflection of their evolutionary relationship.
The senses of taste and smell are closely related.
Basically, a unit of pattern in evolution means that the more closely related two (or more) species are, the more structurally similar they would be to each other.
Same genus or closely related species.

No, the two species are not related closely enough.

Divergent evolution
All species of bacteria (and several other organisms) reproduce by cloning, so two unmutated bacteria of the same species have identical DNA, and are as closely related as it is possible to be. This is true for all clones.
Two organisms that are related will share the same genus name in their scientific name.

No. Cottonmouths and copperheads are two separate but closely related species.
The offspring are usually sterile.
If further genetic analysis were to reveal minimal genetic differences between the two species, indicating a recent common ancestor. Additionally, if hybridization between the two species were found to be common, leading to genetic blending and a lack of distinct genetic boundaries.
