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!

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
When two closely related but separate species are crossed their offspring are usually?
The offspring are usually sterile.
HOW ARE THE AREA OF STUDY -EVOLUTION AND CLASSIFICATION-INTERLINK?
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.
What two senses are closely related?
The senses of taste and smell are closely related.
What does unity of pattern mean in evolution?
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.
What is used to tell if two organisms are related?
Same genus or closely related species.
What role does molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related two each other?
the role in which molecular evidence play in determining how closely two species are related to each other is through the cladogram

Can a human be cross bred with a horse?
No, the two species are not related closely enough.
Two species are said to be related if they share the?
ancestors
Two species that are closely related become increasingly different through?
Divergent evolution
Which two living things are closely related?
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.
What part of the scientific name will two organisms share if they are related?
Two organisms that are related will share the same genus name in their scientific name.
Which two living things are most closely related?
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.
Are a cottonmouth and a copperhead the same snake?
No. Cottonmouths and copperheads are two separate but closely related species.
When two closely related but separate species are crossed their offspring are usually?
The offspring are usually sterile.
What would most likely change the current classification of two closely related flower species to a single species?
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.
